Welcome to CUNY Early College High Schools Program.

CUNY Early College High Schools Program builds upon a long record of successful partnerships between New York City public schools and the colleges within the CUNY system. Each new early college school is launched by a collaborative team of educators that often includes middle school, high school, and college instructors, who together imagine and build schools that support, encourage, and challenge students who all too often have trouble navigating the complicated educational landscape in New York City.

Through our partnership students enroll in Pathways (level 100 courses) First Year Seminar in grade 10, followed by Art History, Chemistry, Statistics, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, English Composition 1 & 2 in grades 11 and 12. IEC students, thereby can earn up to 22 college credits before graduating from high school.  They may then choose to continue the associate’s degree at BCC at no cost.
