College Course Opportunities
Juniors and seniors (and the occasional sophomore) at Houghton Academy may take classes at Houghton College for both high school and college credit. We consider this a better option than AP. Enrollment in classes at the college is subject to availability, and it happens that students may take their second or third preference. The Academy’s master schedule is built so that it follows the general MWF/Tu-Th rotation of the course schedule at the college, and students who take college classes physically transition between the two institutions easily. College classes that never work for our students are the college’s lab science classes, which have hours-long lab that preclude participation. Houghton College charges tuition for the classes Academy students take, but they also offer deep discounts to our students. Contact the Office of Admission at the Academy for more details.
