What is an Early College High School?
An Early College High School is designed to assist historically under represented populations in higher education gain access to the college experience. Under represented populations are defined as , first-generation college goers, English language learners, students of under represented ethnic/cultural groups, low-income youth and other young people who want something other than a traditional high school experience. Students can simultaneously earn a high school diploma and one to two years of transferable college credit to a four year institution -- tuition free.

These programs prepare students to enter the job market at a level sufficient for them to earn a "living wage" which could support a family; or be ready to transfer to a four year college or university with their lower division or general education requirements completed.
