Get a head start on your future
The Early College program enables high school students to take community college courses for high school AND college credit, allowing them to save time and money. Students can work towards an associate degree or certificate while still in high school or receive workforce credentials to accelerate their careers.
These courses are taken on campus at the NH community college near them.
