Get Ahead with Early College
Each year, Washington State College of Ohio serves hundreds of area high school students through a variety of early college opportunities. Whether you’re interested in just one course or many, you can earn dual credits that can help you get ahead. But it’s not one-size-fits-all. Our staff will work with you to determine the best way to maximize your early college options. There are three programs to consider:
College Credit Plus (CCP)
CCP offers high school students a wide array of options for early credit. Take college courses at your high school, on WSCO’s campus, or online. The choice is yours!
Early Enrollment Program (EEP)
Offered exclusively through WSCO, the EEP program is another great way for students to access college courses while still in high school.
Bridge to College (WV)
Our newest early college option for West Virginia Residents lets students in grades 10-12 take WSCO classes online or on campus.

WSCO, Class of ‘18 - Liberal Arts Transfer & General Science Transfer
Ohio State University - Health Sciences 2020“Participating in CCP can be scary because it’s a challenge but you’re going to be a better student and you could save so much time and money later on. CCP will likely be an adjustment from your high school courses but be optimistic and stick with it because the experience will be worth it. Through CCP, I took a variety of different classes and was able to discover the career path I wanted to pursue. I also saved over $15,000 in tuition and graduated 1.5 years early from Ohio State.”

Many people underestimate or fail to take into account how stressful your first year of college can be, but since my first year at OSU was really my third year of college, I wasn’t nearly as overwhelmed as my peers.”
