Early College Experience Program by Marymount College

Early College Experience Program

The Early College Experience Program offered through Marymount College offers high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to take college-transferable courses and earn college credit on their own high school campus.

This concurrent enrollment program offers challenging curricula and exposure to college learning expectations. Its purpose is to provide advance scholastic and educational enrichment opportunities for Advanced Placement (AP) eligible students.
The concurrent enrollment courses maintain the rigor of regular college courses by using the same syllabi and textbooks, by assessing the same learning outcomes and by ensuring that high school teachers hired as adjunct faculty members meet the Marymount College qualifications to teach college-level coursework.
