Early Middle College Program

The Early Middle College program at Hennepin Tech allows students who are currently enrolled in a partnered alternative high school the opportunity to earn college credit towards a high school diploma and a Hennepin Tech certificate, diploma, or associate’s degree.

After graduating high school, EMC students who have not finished their program at Hennepin Tech can keep going to complete it. You will simply reapply to Hennepin Tech as an undergrad college student.
