Parent Information

 As a high school student or a parent of a high school student, Niagara County Tech-Prep offers a variety of options leading towards an advanced degree after high school. In fact, if you are already participating in a related Tech Prep career program in your high school, you already may be gaining credits that will apply directly to your college major. Students who meet the program course requirements outlined in the program articulation agreements will be eligible for Advanced Credit options in select NCCC programs.

While the number of college credits may vary depending on your program of enrollment and your course final grade, you may be able to complete your associate degree in less than 2 years.
