EARLY OPPORTUNITIES
DualEnrollment
MCC offers opportunities for Montana students to earn college credits while still enrolled in high school. College credit-only dual enrollment classes, available on-campus at MCC or online, are offered under the Pioneer Express program.
Students at participating partner high schools may also be eligible for “concurrent enrollment” courses, where both college and high school credit can be earned.
All dual enrollment courses are offered at a significant discount-or even free!
Free2Explore
The Free 2 Explore program at MCC offers two free dual enrollment courses to all eligible Montana high school students. These courses can be on-campus, online, or in the high school. Last year, MCC helped Montana high school students save a combined total of over $250,000.
PioneerPromise
Enroll at MCC after graduation and the dual enrollment savings continue! Students who pass at least six credits from MCC through Pioneer Express will be automatically eligible for a $1,000 scholarship to MCC if enrolled as a degree-seeking student after high school graduation.
This scholarship is the Pioneer Promise scholarship, helping make college degree goals more affordable for Montana high school students.
