  4. College Transfer We are a great first step to four-year colleges and universities. • High-quality courses, small classes, faculty devoted to teaching, and strong support make a great learning environment for critical first two years. • Articulation agreements with all UNC campuses and many independent colleges and universities smooth the way for 64 hours of credit for community college graduates. • Community college transfer students are doing well, with GPAs comparable to those of “native” students.

  8. High School Programs • Early College High Schools • The intent of the early college high school is to recruit and serve students who are the first in their family to attend college, from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, underrepresented in institutions of higher education, and are academically at-risk • Middle College High Schools • Theseare alternative high schools located on college campuses that aim to help at-risk students complete high school and encourage them to attend college. The four-year program offers a project-centered, interdisciplinary curriculum with an emphasis on team teaching, individualized attention, and the development of critical thinking skills.

  9. High School Programs • Learn and Earn Online • Students in public high schools can take online college-credit courses in the areas of science, technology, mathematics and vocational/technical disciplines at no cost to them or to their families. Students earn both high school and college credit for successfully completed courses • Please take some time to review the handout related to new legislation for high school programs.
