Associate Pathways

The Associate Pathways program allows students to earn an Atlantic Cape associate degree (60+ credits) while still in high school through a combination of dual credit and concurrent courses. Because these courses are rigorous college-level courses, students should be motivated and ready for the challenge of balancing college coursework with their high school courses and the demands of being a high school student. Interested students should contact their school to find out if their district is a partner and how to apply and register.
