What is Concurrent Enrollment?
Concurrent Enrollment for Under 18 Students at Estrella Mountain Community College provides a unique opportunity for motivated individuals eager to kickstart their college education while still in high school.
This program is tailored for students under 18 years of age who haven't yet completed high school or attained a GED.
It's an ideal option for those looking to expand their knowledge, enhance their academic standing, and seamlessly transition into higher education.
Students who have graduated from high school or obtained a GED are seamlessly integrated into the regular student body at EMCC, regardless of age, ensuring a smooth progression into their chosen academic pathways.
