Glasgow, Kentucky – WKU in Glasgow is pleased to announce the inaugural Early College at WKU in Glasgow class. 73 students from seven partner high schools have been admitted and will begin this August.
Each student will participate in one of five Professional Career Tracks—Agriculture, Business Management, Crime and Legal Studies, Education, or Nursing. Early College students will earn 30 hours of college credit during their junior and senior years by taking courses with university students at WKU in Glasgow.
The program will bring admitted students to the Glasgow campus two-to-four days each week for half days. Students will also attend classes at their sending high school, allowing them to remain fully engaged in the activities and community offered by their home school while completing the program.
“The Early College at WKU in Glasgow program will provide a high-quality and academically energizing environment for students motivated to succeed at both the high school and college levels,” said WKU Provost Robert “Bud” Fischer. “The program creates a pathway for success in a degree program at WKU for each student.”
Beyond the classroom, students’ learning will be enhanced by two field trips each semester, one taking them into the field in the local area collaborating directly with area leaders within the Professional Career Tracks. The other field trip each semester will bring students to WKU’s Bowling Green campus for immersive experiences and to expand their interactions with faculty.
“The field trips get me excited as we ready the Glasgow campus for the new program,” said Derick Strode, Director of Regional Campuses and Dual Credit. “These field days will build directly upon the classroom experiences, engaging our students hands on to show them how WKU degrees lead to some of the most rewarding and in-demand careers in our area.”
