Mary-Ann Nkongchu of Worcester, Andrew Wegiel of Leominster and Alexander Ramos Jr. of Leominster were among a class of 26 dual enrollment students completing English Composition I in December through the Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Partnership at Mount Wachusett Community College.
Mount Wachusett Community College in Gardner has launched classes that will be offered to high school students for $30 each, including books.
The program, created through the Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Partnership (CDEP) at Mount Wachusett Community College, will allow students to enroll in courses for $30 using grant funds to cover the extra costs. These classes include English composition, introduction to psychology and strategic management.
CDEP provides opportunities for high school students to take college-level courses at a discounted price and earn credit towards their high school diploma and future college degrees. More than 500 high school students are concurrently enrolled at MWCC throughout the academic year.
In September, MWCC was awarded a $50,000 CDEP grant from the Department of Higher Education. The college plans to use that money to increase statewide dual enrollment from 2,000 to 3,400 students each year.
