High school students were on a project for Early College Career Academy

High school programs

SUNY Adirondack is proud to team with regional school districts and WSWHE (Washington Saratoga Warren Hamilton Essex) BOCES to offer high school students the opportunity to earn college credit.

We offer College Academy programs to provide academically capable high school juniors and seniors, as well as homeschooled students at equivalent levels, an opportunity to take college-level courses. 

Forge your path

We know everyone's interests and goals are different, so we offer four ways to earn college credit and explore career options while fulfilling requirements to graduate from high school. 

College in the High School (CHS)

Take college-level courses in your own school. This program offers you the opportunity to earn college credits that also satisfy high school graduation requirements. Choose from a variety of SUNY Adirondack classes in your school, including art, business, English, languages, math and sciences, among others.

Campus Academy

Campus Academy — also known as the 24 Credit Hour Program — is for high school and homeschooled students who wish to enroll in college courses at SUNY Adirondack on its Queensbury or Saratoga campuses, or online. You can choose courses for dual high school/college credit, or pick courses that interest you and align with future career or academic goals. 

Early College Career Academy (ECCA)

Spend half-days at your high school and half-days on our campus, in programs that include Electrical Technology/Advanced Manufacturing; Information Technology: Computer Networking and Cybersecurity; Business and Entrepreneurship; or New Media (Graphic Design).

PTECH (Pathways to Technology)

PTECH starts in ninth grade and gives you experiences, skills and credentials to secure rewarding careers in technology-based industries. PTECH students are incoming ninth-graders who earn a Regents high school diploma and an associate degree in Advanced Manufacturing or Information Technology: Computer Networking and Cybersecurity from SUNY Adirondack at no cost to the family.
