Benefits of Advanced Studies Credit:
High school students may benefit in a number of ways from the Advanced Studies Program courses. They earn college credit while completing high school. They can apply the credit toward a program of study at the sponsoring college/university or they may elect to transfer the credit to another college. Students get an opportunity to experience college level courses while still attending high school. High school credit will be awarded and college credit can be awarded for an additional fee. North Collins High School currently has articulation agreements with Canisius University, Hilbert College and SUNY Erie.
The following college courses are offered at North Collins High School for possible college credit:

Teachers qualified to teach the above courses have been named adjunct professors for the college/university offering the dual enrollment credit.

The college will invoice you for enrolled courses.
