college. You'll improve your writing skills,
sharpen your problem-solving abilities, and
develop time management skills, discipline, and
study habits. Earn College Credit and
Placement More than 90 percent of four-year
colleges in the United States and colleges in
more than 60 other countries give students

level courses, pursue a double-major or study
abroad.
