About Bridge to College

As part of the Bridge to College program, high school or home school students from Berkshire County, Massachusetts can earn college credit before graduating through dual enrollment or concurrent enrollment.

What is dual enrollment?

Dual enrollment involves a high school student enrolling in a college course for credit with a 快猫app professor. The course can be taken either in-person at Berkshire Community College, asynchronously (fully online), or hybrid (in person at 快猫app and online). In some cases, dual enrollment courses may be taught at a local high school by a 快猫app professor.

What is concurrent enrollment?

Concurrent enrollment involves a high school student enrolling in a course taught at their high school by a high school teacher who has had their teaching credentials and course syllabus approved for college credit.
