Get a Running Start on college and career
The Running Start program enables high school students to take community college courses for dual high school AND college credit.
Courses offered through the Running Start program are college courses taught at high schools by teachers who have college-level teaching credentials and use a college syllabus and course materials. These courses are taken as part of the daily class schedule.
- Tuition is only $150 per course – a huge savings from the regular cost of college courses
