Saving tuition money through the accumulation of early college credits is even a more vital concern these days than in 1972. However, such a savings can be hollow indeed, viewed in the light of the nationwide attrition rate for full time college freshmen, unless it is coupled with the building of tools for success. We believe, and are firmly committed to the idea that our very special program can offer this area's students both early credit and a better chance at actually earning a college degree.
So, the program continues to be, after more than 30 years, an option and an opportunity for some high school seniors within driving distance of the college to widen their experience while they still have the close support of family and high school.
