Early Middle College

Students can attend college with FREE TUITION for a full year through our Early Middle College partnership with Bay de Noc Community College. We offer a wide variety of pathways. Students graduate after their “fifth year” of high school with an industry recognized Certificate that can stand alone or ladder into an Associate Degree. Because students enroll in EMC as high school juniors, they ease into the college environment with additional support from EMC staff in the CTE department and at Bay College.
