What is Early College High School?
United High School Early College Academy (UHSECA) is a small school designed for students to earn both a high school diploma and an associate’s degree or up to 60 hours of credit toward a bachelor’s degree.
UHSECA has the potential to improve high school graduation rates and better prepare all students for high-skilled careers by engaging them in a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum and compressing the number of years towards a college degree.
Why Early College High School?
Did you know that…
For every 10 students that start high school:
- 8 will finish and obtain a high school diploma
- 6 will enroll in a post-secondary institution
- Only 3 will complete a bachelor’s degree within 10 years.
A post-secondary education is essential for financial and personal freedom in today’s economy. A four-year college graduate earns two-thirds more than a high school graduate does. An associate’s degree translates into significantly more earnings than with a high school diploma alone.
