Attention High School Students: Get a head start on your college career!

This program is designed for students in grades 9th-12th. Students apply for admission to EACC and once admitted, have the opportunity to take full advantage of this unique opportunity to learn. EACC will provide qualified instructors at your school or online, or the school district may provide appropriately credentialed instructors according to the Arkansas Division of Higher Education (ADHE) standards.
