Is Baker Early College a good fit for you?

Requirements and suggestions for new students—

​

Our requirements are simple: you must be (1) an Oregon resident, and (2) high school age. It's okay if you've never been in a public school before! If you have been enrolled in an accredited high school, the credits that you've earned will transfer in with you.

​

Baker Early College is an incredible opportunity, one that comes with increased expectations. College coursework requires a higher level of independence, responsibility, and self-advocacy. Successful students are able to communicate independently, manage their time effectively, and take ownership of their learning.

You don’t need prior experience with college classes — many students begin without it — but you do need to be ready for the academic rigor and maturity that college-level work requires. Our team will help determine appropriate course placement so that your classes challenge you without becoming overwhelming. If a full-time college schedule isn’t the right fit yet, that’s okay. We can create a hybrid pathway that blends college courses with high school classes to support your growth and readiness.

​

  While students who are under 16 may not take classes at Linn Benton, Rogue, or Umpqua Community Colleges, they may take classes from another one of our college partners.
