Much more than a class

If you are a high school junior or senior, you stand to gain from enrolling in MSU's Early College program. If you are looking for an academic challenge, this program offers the exact same classes taught at MSU, with the same assignments and exams. Most classes will be taught by teachers and administrators in your school system, providing an extra amount of familiarity and comfort. All instructors meet qualifications to teach at a college level and are paired with an MSU faculty member for additional support. 

Much more beneficial

Besides getting a head start on your education, you have the opportunity to interact with University faculty in your high school and at special events hosted at MSU. The Early College program brings an enhanced curriculum to your school allowing you to experience new and challenging courses. 

You also get access to the University's library services and free admission to athletic events with your MSU ID. 

Eligibility Requirements

High school juniors and seniors with a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale and an ACT composite score of 18 are eligible to participate in the Early College program. If you have not taken the ACT, your ACT PLAN scores from your sophomore year will be accepted. If you do not meet these requirements, ask your guidance counselor about enrolling in developmental courses. 

Certain courses have statewide minimum assessment scores. Discuss these requirements with your guidance counselor.
