MJUSD families,

 

The Early College Program is a collaboration between Yuba College and Marysville Joint Unified School District that is now accepting qualified incoming 9th grade students for the 2020-2021 school year. This exciting new program creates a forum where students who complete this program will earn a General Education - Social and Behavioral Science degree (A.S.) in addition to their high school diploma during their four years at MJUSD. In simple terms, college bound students will have 48 transferable units to the UC/CSU, as well as their first college degree, all before graduating High School! While this is a very exciting opportunity, it is a challenging program that requires dedication from students and families. Due to COVID, we are including some testimonials of students from other similar programs, as well as a presentation about the program here for you.

Please use the link below to view the Early College Program presentation. This presentation will explain the program, outline the responsibilities for families, and provide information on the application process. Thank you in advance for your interest in this new collaboration.
