Early College Experience

Identified sophomores are invited to apply for the Early College Experience, an early-entrance-to-college program that allows students to earn college credit towards an associate degree while still in high school at no cost to the family. Students will take dual enrollment courses at St. Louis Community College-Forest Park beginning the summer between their sophomore and junior year. As juniors, participating students will take dual credit courses at UCHS. As seniors, they will complete their remaining coursework on the STLCC-Forest Park campus. Successful candidates can graduate with not only a UCHS diploma, but also an associate’s degree in general studies. Our Early College graduates are routinely admitted into competitive programs at colleges and universities across the country. Applications are due in early March of sophomore year.
