Check out the options below and choose the option that works best for you.

Jumpstart to College

Framingham State’s Jumpstart to College program is available to students at any local high school who are ready for college coursework. You can choose from combining a college course or two while also taking high school courses at the same time, or attend FSU full time (3 or 4 courses) that will also satisfy your remaining high school requirements. Students will pay for these courses.

Early College Program

Framingham State’s Early College Program is available to students at our partner high schools: Framingham, Milford and Waltham high schools. This program provides free, select, college courses to students during the day at their own high school, along with significant academic support, family engagement and college readiness programming.

Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Partnership (CDEP)

This program provides opportunities for Massachusetts high school students to take college-level courses for free or at a discounted price and earn credit toward high school completion and their future college degrees. Priority is given to low-income and first-generation applicants.
