Convenient College Credit Options

College Connections

Through the College Connections program, you enroll and complete classes at your school, on one of our campuses, or online. The credits you earn will count toward your EICC certificate, diploma, or degree. Best of all - your high school covers tuition and supplies. Not you.

Take Liberal Arts classes, such as College Algebra or Public Speaking. Or, start working on a technical certificate, diploma, or degree before you complete high school.
