Earn College Credits while completing your high school degree
High school students from Greater Boston area schools can earn high school and college credits simultaneously while gaining familiarity with the college "experience".
Types of Dual Enrollment programs
Traditional Dual Enrollment
Through our dual enrollment program, students take college courses at BHCC while they are still in high school. Dual enrollment partners include Malden High School, Chelsea High School and thirty-five other area high schools.
BHCC Early College
Students in BHCC Early College programs participate in accelerated pathways from high school to college, allowing them to graduate high school with anywhere from 12 college credits to an associate degree. Current Massachusetts State designated BHCC Early College partners include Brighton High School, Charlestown High School, Chelsea High School, Madison Park Technical Vocational High School, and Malden High School.
