Marian University's Ancilla College is thrilled to announce the launch of the Advanced Study Program, offering high school students an exceptional opportunity to earn college credits before graduation, all while enjoying significant cost savings.
"The Advanced Study Program offers a remarkable opportunity for high school students in our community to earn college credits while saving on tuition," said Natalie Tucker, Ph.D., vice president and academic dean. "We have collaborated extensively with local schools to ensure high school students have the flexibility to attend courses on our Plymouth campus."
This program allows students to enroll in general education courses that apply to most college study plans, regardless of their chosen major or institution. With discounted tuition rates, students can save money while gaining a head start on their higher education journey. The credits earned through this program can be applied toward an associate or bachelor degree at Marian University and are generally accepted by other colleges, provided a grade of C or higher is achieved. Courses are conducted in person at our Plymouth campus and are taught by Marian University faculty.
"Our faculty are enthusiastic about welcoming students of all ages to our campus and classrooms," added Dr. Tucker. "Our faculty strive to deliver engaging, hands-on learning experiences and are adaptable to various learning styles and needs. We aim to support each student at every stage of their educational journey."
Eligibility requirements include completion of the sophomore year, being under nineteen years old, and maintaining a minimum 3.00 cumulative GPA. The cost is $25 per credit hour, and students can take up to 36 hours of coursework.
