Except for the pre-college level classes, these are regular courses which count toward graduation. There is a lot of help available to support these academic efforts, and students also learn to help one another. Each student's program is individualized to promote maximum growth. Students spend an average of 4-5 hours in class each day. BUT , though Middle College students work hard they also have a tendency to play hard.
Students develop close and lasting friendships.
Middle College has been extremely successful. We stay in close contact with Middle College graduates and follow their progress throughout their first year of college. Middle college graduates have fewer of the scholastic and social problems that sometimes mar a freshman year. They were ahead of the pack and maintained that lead all year. Students are not required to live on campus but are strongly advised to live in the halls Tutors live in the halls with students and are available to help with course work.
