What is an Early College?

  • Early colleges are a blend of public high schools and community colleges. As part of NC’s College and Career Promise, Early Colleges are high schools located on community college campuses. By the time an early college student graduates high school, they will have had the opportunity to earn an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Science degree.  Cabarrus County is home to two early colleges: the Early College and Cabarrus Tech Early College.
