Early College Experience Program

Northwest Catholic offers ECE courses in Biology, English, and Statistics.  These courses offer students the opportunity to obtain college credit from the University of Saint Joseph while still in high school.  A nominal fee of $50 per credit is charged.  Students must be approved to enroll in this course by the Department Chairperson, School Counselor, and Principal. A grade of “C” in the course is required to earn University of Saint Joseph credit.
