| What Does Our School Offer? |
|
MNPS Middle College High School offers a rigorous and challenging curriculum by affording a dual enrollment opportunity through a high school actually embedded within the Nashville State Community College campus. Students can earn their high school diploma while gaining valuable college credit hours and experience.
|
This can lead to:
a) an Associate Degree
b) college credit hours
c) a technical certificate
that can be applied to the general education core requirements towards a Bachelor Degree
|
Qualifying students receive up to $600 per year for college hours
Credits earned at NSCC will transfer to all Tennessee Board of Regents and University of Tennessee system four-year universities, as well as other colleges. However, students are responsible for obtaining verification of transfer credits from their chosen universities.
