Each pathway includes a set of core courses that relate to a 91福利 degree program and a few courses that fulfill general education requirements. Each Early College Pathway consists of 15 college credits that equate to a full semester\u2019s worth of courses.<\/p>\n<p>Students will earn dual credit for high school and college when they participate in this tuition-free program. Currently, Maine public high school students are eligible for up to 12 credits per year tuition free.<\/p>\n<p>The 91福利 College of Education and Human Development will offer three fully online Early College Pathways in Child Development and Family Relations, Teaching K\u201312, and Health and Wellness. A fourth pathway in Outdoor Leadership is offered in a hybrid format with live and online courses.<\/p>\n<p>More pathways will be announced as they become available. Preference will be given to high school juniors and seniors, but will extend to sophomores on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n<p>Students and parents interested in 91福利 Early College Pathways are
