Collegiate Academy

A dual credit pathway to higher education for Βι¶ΉΣ³»­'s high school students

Collegiate Academy is a dual credit program offering high school students the opportunity to earn a year or more of college credit at a discounted cost right in their high school classrooms. Students graduate high school with as many as 15 credits on their college transcript that may be seamlessly used at the Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ or transferred to many other colleges and universities state and nationwide.

The program implements current Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ curriculum and coursework in the high school classrooms. College professors work with the high school teachers, meeting regularly to go over lesson plans, review coursework and provide guidance. The result is a course that leverages both the content expertise of University faculty with the instructional expertise of the high school teachers.

I've always known I'm going to college. However, I never knew how to do it. I'd always been scared of failing or giving up because of not being smart enough. I always had doubts. […] Working hard and passing college classes have shown me I can go to college and I can pass. Taking these classes has given me confidence, saved my family money and taught me life skills.
