Why Early College?
Match college courses to your current high school classes and earn college credit.

No risk.
No payment is required until after a student passes a course, ensuring students aren’t charged for courses that won’t transfer to college (If the student does not pass, they do not pay).
Get ahead.
Students can earn up to 30 credits at Russell Sage College, which may be transferable to other institutions.
Low cost.
$50 per credit, or $150 for a 3-credit course
$25 per credit, or $75 per 3-credit course (students on free and reduced lunch)
“When you believe in yourself and take action, wonderful things happen. Our faculty and college community are committed to helping you pursue your greatest dreams. The time is now. The person is you.”
