Benefits
- Jump-start on college costs
Though each college has its own policy about transfer credits, credits from MRC are highly respected. MRC’s CEP credits have a wonderful record of being accepted by school everywhere. Getting those credits now means saving up to two years of tuition, books, and campus living costs. - College in manageable portions
College life is full of challenges. The rigors of the coursework and the discipline and maturity it takes to manage higher learning well can feel overwhelming for new college students. CEP allows students the opportunity to learn how to manage their time and effort without the struggle of a full-time college workload. - More choices when students’ full-time college career begins
With college credits already completed, CEP students will find a new world of opportunities. The time they spend now to gain college credits means more time for their bigger dreams. Perhaps a second major? A chance to study abroad? An internship with the perfect company? Taking CEP classes now opens a whole new world of possibilities for tomorrow! - Early mastery of important skills
Of all the skills employers seek, the ability to think critically, read well, and write clearly are among the top five. Whether students’ goals include continued higher education or entry into a career, MRC’s CEP route strengthens their ability to think and to communicate on levels employers are seeking.
