Kish’s Early College Program provides an opportunity for motivated high school juniors and seniors to work toward an associate degree by taking college courses at their high school, at Kish and online. Some students may be able to earn an associate degree by the time they graduate high school.

EMSA, like the Early College Program, allows high school juniors and seniors to complete college-level coursework while in high school. The EMSA program is tailored for students pursuing science or engineering college programs.

“Kish’s Early College and EMSA programs are great options for ambitious students who want to get a head start on their college credits. The courses are affordable and easily transferable to other colleges or universities,” said Colleen Tumminaro, Director of Dual Credit & K-12 Partnerships.
