The College Institute is an innovative partnership between Montgomery College and MCPS. The institute provides an opportunity for identified high-achieving seniors to earn college credits on the high school campus during the regular school day. The Montgomery College courses enhance and supplement the high school's current advanced placement courses.

Who is eligible to participate?

Any student who by the end of the junior year has:
  1. Completed most high school graduation requirements;
  2. Achieved a minimum of 550 on all three parts (critical reading, writing and mathematics) on the SAT; and
  3. Earned a minimum weighted grade point average of 3.5.
  4. An appeals process exists for highly motivated students who fall slightly below the requirements.

Current juniors, if you are interested in College Institute, please look at this checklist. If you have any questions, please email Susan_B_Byrne@mcpsmd.org or call Susan Byrne, College Institute Coordinator at 840-4737.
