Students are required to earn certain minimum scores on the computerized Accuplacer test, earn certain GPAs and or regents or SAT scores in order to qualify for these courses or be ranked in the top 10% of their high school class. BRCS covers the tuition cost of these courses for students, which leaves only the cost of the course textbook for the student and family to cover. This is a phenomenal financial deal!
Students must request an official transcript from JCC and ask that it be sent to your college of choice when you graduate so that your college grants you the college credits you have earned in high school through the College Connections program.
Houghton University offers several Early College courses at a reasonable cost, including drone piloting, data analytics, History of Rock and Roll Music, Criminology, and more!
