Clinton High School graduate Jacob Felts exemplifies the program’s effectiveness. Having begun taking college classes during his sophomore year, Felts will enter Jackson College this fall as a full-time student with the Michigan Transfer Agreement complete, requiring only one additional year to earn his associate degree. This accelerated pathway saves both time and money while maintaining educational quality. “Jackson College has been right by my side through the whole process,” Felts said. “They have great staff members who will help with whatever you need.” Felts plans to become an electrician and will need only eight electrical classes to complete his program, allowing him to enter the workforce and earn a living much faster than traditional four- year college students.

GROUNDBREAKING EDUCATION CAREERS PARTNERSHIP Educational opportunities continue to expand through exciting new collaborations. Jackson College, the Lenawee Intermediate School District, and Adrian College have joined forces to create an innovative teacher education pathway, the new Education Careers Middle College (EMC) program, launching this fall. Participating juniors and seniors will simultaneously take college courses and high school classes, with the potential to earn up to 60 college credits over three years. The program includes a transformative 13th year spent on a college campus, providing students with authentic higher education experience.
