MCC’s college acceleration programs provide a jump-start for high school students.
There are a variety of ways for students to earn college credit before graduating from high school. Students can enroll in dual credit courses, dual enrollment courses, or participating in an Early College Academy.
Many students benefit by obtaining work-ready credentials quickly to dive right into the workforce or by earning enough college credit to graduate with a high school diploma and Associate in Arts degree at the same time.
