Early Entrance College Programs
Many colleges, when approached individually, will allow the young student to take
a course or two. Others will allow the young student to become matriculated, often
based on their SAT or ACT scores and previous academic achievement - this
happens more than you might think.
Many state colleges allow juniors and seniors in high school to take
college courses; these programs are often available, but not
well-advertised. Some states have a "Post-Secondary Options Act" as
part of their education or gifted education mandates, that allow high school
students to take college courses for high school credit.
A few schools
have specialized programs designed for young students at least 2 years before high
school graduation. These programs are listed here...
