Earn College Credit for Free!
College Career Pathways credit, from Asnuntuck Community College, is available to high school juniors and seniors in 10 area schools.

College Career Pathways, a federally funded program, allows students to earn up to 13 FREE college credit, by taking classes at their high school, that have been articulated through Asnuntuck Community College. Students apply for College Career Pathways at their high school and must be enrolled in four core areas, including communications, math, science and a career-related area (e.g. accounting, early childhood development, criminal justice, etc.).

Students must maintain a minimum of B- (80-83) average. Students are able to apply the credits they have earned toward a degree or certificate program at Asnuntuck Community College or transfer them to another college or university.*  

*Most colleges accept incoming community college credit.  The final decision is dependent on the accepting college’s transfer policy. 

Students and Parents Benefit!  
College Career Pathways students have the ability to not only earn college credit for their high school efforts but they are also able to save financially by earning credit without the outlay of any tuition, in addition to saving time on earning a college degree. All classes are taught by the high school’s staff, on school grounds, during the regular school day. Students are exposed to a variety of career opportunities during free Career Exploration Days held at the college. College Career Pathways covers the cost of the bus and lunches for high school students who visit the college for these exciting days. Students, in the past, have had the opportunity to learn about criminal justice and public service opportunities, along with career options in accounting, radio and television broadcasting.

 How Do I Apply? 
Applications, for both the college and College Career Pathways program, are due to your Guidance Counselor or High School’s College Career Pathways Office by December 1st of your senior year.
