    There are two pathways for earning college credit in High School. 

    Pathway 1: High School Scholars

    The High School Scholars Program is for students to earn college credit for a course that they meet the pre-requsite for at Middlesex College. Students cannot earn High School credit for a course taken through this pathway.  

    Overview: 

    The application process and requirements can be found on the Middlesex County Website. Please click here to access the site. 

    Pathway 2: Dual Enrollment 

    The Dual Enrollment Program is for students to earn college credit for High School courses that they take at East Brunswick High School. Students earn both college and High School credit for these courses.  

    Overview: 

    • Students must be enrolled in an eligible course. 

    • There is no limit on the number of credits a student can take. 

    • Cost is $135 per course. 

    • Students must have a “C” or better in course for credit.

    Students can use a combination of both pathways above to maximize their college credits in high school.

    Regarding Dual Enrollment and Final Exams, please see district Policy #2624, as outlined below:

    Seniors who have an average of A- or higher by the end of the fourth marking period for a full year course or both marking periods of a semester course and have a fourth marking period grade of B or higher, will be exempt from taking the final examination in the course. The final grade value for the course will be the composite of the pupil’s performance for the four marking periods and the midterm examination. The final grade for semester course will be the composite of the two marking period grades. Seniors who by this rule are exempt from taking the final examination may, however, opt to take the exam.
