The Educational Models

MCNC schools bridge the high school and college experience for underserved youth.

Middle College

Middle College High Schools (MCHS) are secondary schools located on college campuses and authorized to grant diplomas in their own name. While at a Middle College High School, students have the opportunity to take some college classes at no cost to themselves or their families.

Early College

Early College High Schools share the main characteristics of Middle College High Schools and also have a defined program that enables the high school students to earn both their high school diploma and their associate degree in four to five years at no cost to the student.

Dual Enrollment

In an Enhanced Dual Enrollment Program, high school students are able to take college courses, and have access to additional academic, social, and emotional support. Staff have opportunities for professional development opportunities so they can facilitate the transition from high school to college.
