Getting an associate degree while in highschool

[mr_peanutbutter]

Back in High School (early 2000's) I was able to take AP Courses, CLEP exams, and concurrent credit classes to obtain about 30 or so credit hours at my high school graduation. These days, the top 20% or so from my old high school actually graduate with a proper associates degree at the end of their senior year.

I would check your local community college system and see what programs they have for high school aged students. Especially when it comes to Summer courses!

TLDR: You may want to see if Pierpont allows 15 credits residency through Dual Enrollment and the rest to come from ACE classes... I would really like to know, this would be a great Associates option for those who are still under age for university. It's a great option to graduate high school and college with the associates at the same time.

Basically, you should work on your high school diploma and get the Associates completed at the same time (homeschoolers can get dual enrollment). When you've got the associates, you can push onward to a Bachelors from one of the institutions we suggest. So, here's a quick pathway... Pierpont AA through dual enrollment for classes that can't be ACE, CLEP/DSST, etc> Bachelors using ACE, CLEP/DSST, etc for lower level classes > Finish with residency credits at the institution you intend to graduate from.

There's going to be homework for you, here are posts/threads that I have linked to before with advice and it varies for each student.
