Early College Program Partnerships
WMU Early College Programs collaborates with local high schools to develop enriching academic experiences and eliminate barriers to higher education. Working together, we can create a customized dual enrollment program for your school or district aimed toward elevating your students’ success.
The many benefits of contracting with WMU Early College Programs include:
- Increasing your students’ access to educational opportunities beyond what your school or district can provide
- Preparing your students for the challenges of post-secondary education
- Empowering students to begin building a foundation for their futures by earning college credit while still in high school
- Maximizing your use of per-pupil state funding
- Delivering logistical and program solutions to fit your students’ specific needs
Getting Started
Getting started is simple! Do you prefer that your dual enrollment courses happen onsite at your location, or can students join online or in-person at a WMU campus? What subjects are your students most interested in? A foreign language? Something in the arts or humanities? STEM-related subjects? WMU offers it all—and more.
You simply provide us with information about the types of offerings you want, including subjects and modalities, and we will propose solutions that best fit your specific needs. Complete our partnership contact form below and someone from our team will reach out to you to discuss the next steps!
