Early College Pathway Certificate

Taylor University is approved to offer a credential which will meet requirements for the Honors Enrollment Plus Seal on the new Indiana high school diploma.     
 
The Early College Pathway Certificate is a 30-credit-hour credential designed to prepare students for success in the workforce or as they continue their college education. Students can earn transferable, accredited college credit through courses across multiple disciplines, including general education requirements common to most degree paths. 
 
Please note: Pathways credits do not replace or reduce the courses required for a major or degree program. Be sure to consult with your academic advisor to understand how these credits may align with requirements and your chosen field of study.
