What is the ECA?The Early College AllianceSM (ECA) is a new, public early / middle college program on the campus of Eastern Michigan University in partnership with local school districts, Washtenaw Intermediate School District and EMU.
Who can enroll?
Any interested student currently in 9th or 10th grade should see the ECA as a viable choice. The ECA is designed to meet the learning needs of every type of student. The ECA is a non-time centric program allowing students to accelerate through the program based on skill acquisition, not credit accumulation. The ECA is an excellent fit for either advanced students, students who are struggling or students who are unsure if post-secondary education is the right option for them.
How long will it take to complete the program?Each student has his/her own Personalized Learning Plan (PLP). Timeline completion depends upon the student's rate of progress through his/her PLP. Typically, it takes 3 years after entering the ECA program.
What will be the course of study?
Each student will have a Personalized Learning Plan (PLP) that will contain his/her customized Academic and Career Pathway. The Academic Pathway will be aligned with the new Michigan High School Graduation requirements, state examination requirements and post-secondary coursework. The Career Pathway will be aligned with industry standards in one of these selected areas: health, medicine, mathematics, science, technology and business.
Where will the program be located?The ECA is located on the campus of Eastern Michigan. Students enrolled in the ECA will be attending all classes on the EMU campus.
