[quote]Program Description
Students who are accepted into the program begin taking courses at PGCC while still in high school, earning credits toward an associate's degree. Upon graduation from high school, students immediately transition to PGCC to complete the associate's degree. Finally, they are awarded a scholarship to UMUC to earn their bachelor's degree for a total cost of less than $10,000.

At UMUC, they can select one of three bachelor's degrees:

Business Administration
Computer Networks and Cybersecurity
Criminal Justice
Students will work with an advisor when enrolled at each institution to provide individual guidance through the program to ensure a seamless transition from high school to PGCC, and from PGCC to UMUC.[/quote]

I just learned about it. Seems like an inexpensive way to earn a bachelors degree, but you have no choice of major -- you are stuck with what you select Junior Year of High school.[/quote]

This is not the way most of DCUM wants to send their kids to college. My guess is that there may be some ability to change majors and still keep your costs for college very low. MCPS has a program at Northwood HS that is a partnership with Montgomery College.[/quote]
