What is the difference between traditional dual enrollment and early college high school?

  • In short, both programs offer students the opportunity to pursue college-level, credit-bearing course work while still in high school. Generally, Early College Academy provides college credit–bearing course work in a smaller, supportive classroom setting intended to boost the level of preparation for continued college work.

  • Dual enrollment courses, however, may be offered in a variety of settings, including at traditional, comprehensive high schools or on college campuses.

Where can I get an overview of ECA procedures?

  • For a general overview of daily procedures at ECA, students and parents are encouraged to review the ECA's orientation video.
