Early Middle College
Program Mission and Description
GCC’s Early Middle College is a program that provides secondary students the opportunity to obtain postsecondary education and accelerate their job training to become skilled workers. EMC students will take college courses identified in their career pathway with their required high school courses to earn stackable credentials. EMC students will participate in wraparound services to support their academic needs and to overcome social and economic barriers unique to their population. These wraparound services will also focus on EMC students’ transition into the college-level mindset and their employability after graduation. This program prepares EMC graduates to be skillful, ethical, and professional for entry-level positions with a certificate of mastery, program certificate or associates degree, and other certifications related to their identified career pathway.
For secondary students, a portion of the requirements will be provided by the Dual Credit Articulated Programs of Study [DCAPS] and its Dual Enrollment Accelerated Learning [DEAL] program. The DCAPS involves the (11) Career and Technical Education programs available in Guam’s six public high schools: Allied Health; Automotive; AutoCAD; Construction; Early Childhood Education; Electronics; Lodging Management Program (Tourism); Marketing; ProStart (Culinary); Telecommunications, and Visual Communication. Under DCAPS, students enrolled in the GCC CTE program will earn from three to 15 college credits in the corresponding GCC postsecondary program. Under the DEAL program, eligible students are allowed to enroll in college math and English courses concurrently with high school classes and to receive both high school and college credit simultaneously. Upon successful completion of these college course(s), the student will receive credit for the corresponding high school course AND receive college credit. The career pathway identified below addresses the community need for skilled workers in Guam’s construction industry as well as infrastructure technology (IT).
Program Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs):
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
