Early College Programs (ECP)

At Arkansas State University, Early College Programs open the door for high school students to step into their future with confidence. Together with schools, families, and community partners, we make college opportunities accessible, affordable, and achievable.

Concurrent Enrollment – Students earn high school and college credit at the same time, right in their classrooms
Scarlet Shirt Freshman – Flexible online/in-person courses taught by A-State faculty where high school students can gain college credit early
Upskill Pathways – Career-connected courses that build real-world skills while earning college credit

We believe every student deserves the chance to start strong. By working together, we help students thrive today and prepare for success tomorrow.
