University launches Early College Program with Washington Schools
On November 5, officials from Elizabeth City State University and the Washington County Schools met to sign a memorandum of understanding to launch an Early College Program that will benefit Washington County High School students.
Participating students will be eligible to earn up to 30 college credit hours while still attending their public high schools. This rigorous program will reside under the authority of the Washington County Board of Education. All federal, state, and local laws applicable to public high schools will be applicable to the Early College Program.
An advisory committee comprised of representatives from the university and the school district will meet quarterly to evaluate instructional and programmatic activities, identify problems, issues and challenges that arise and make recommendations regarding more effective coordination and collaboration. The Board of Education will oversee funding for this Early College Program. The university will select and supervise faculty to provide the courses for the Early College Program.
