PITTSFIELD, Mass — High school students are invited to get a jump on their college careers by attending a virtual information session on Berkshire Community College (BCC)'s Early College Program.
Three one-hour sessions are offered:

Saturday, December 9, 10 am
To register for a free session, visit www.berkshirecc.edu/early-college. Registrants will be emailed a Zoom link. There will be time for questions at the conclusion of each session.
Early college, also known as dual enrollment, provides an opportunity for students to take courses at BCC while still in high school and earn college credit. Supported by BCC's dual enrollment grant, the Early College Program allows eligible Massachusetts high school students to take up to 15 credits. Tuition and fees are waived; students are responsible for the cost of books and supplies, and they must arrange their own transportation. Funding is limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Participants can take a variety of courses ranging from English, science, math and history to art, humanities and computer science. Interested students may submit applications to the spring 2024 program beginning November 27, 2023.
