If you're 15 or older, you can take campus-based or online college classes and earn undergraduate credits from Montgomery County Community College. These credits can be transferred to a four-year college or university; however, you should contact your intended college's Admissions Office to ensure that your credits transfer completely.
Our classes are offered in the evenings, on weekends and during the summer. For daytime classes check with your high school to see if you can adjust your schedule and fit in a college course.
