High School Partnership and Foreign Language Courses
Our college collaborates with local high schools through the Concurrent Enrollment Partnership Program, providing students the opportunity to take the initial year of foreign language classes within their high school. These courses are led by either a concurrent or dual instructor, ensuring parity in content and assessments with our on-campus offerings. If you are interested in taking these courses, please reach out to your high school counselor for more information and guidance on the enrollment process.
