A new agreement between Butler Area School District and Butler County Community College will give students the opportunity to earn free college credits while in high school.
The Early College Pathway pilot program is funded in part by the district and BC3’s Education Foundation.
This fall, seniors at the high school can enroll in a three-credit college writing course and a one-credit study skills course. A research writing course will be funded in the spring. The courses will be in-person during the mornings at BC3’s main campus.
Seniors can then transfer those credits to either an associate degree at BC3 or to a bachelor at another college or university.
