The Early College Magnet Program (ECP) at Woodlawn High School (WHS)
The Early College Program at Woodlawn High School is a BCPS magnet program. The ECP at WHS is designed to provide students with a college preparatory program that combines the high school and college experience in a supportive, yet rigorous educational environment. Through a partnership with the CCBC, students have the opportunity to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and an associate of arts degree or up to 60 credits toward a bachelor’s degree. Students earn credits through course work completed at both the high school campus and at the community college campus. Adjunct professors from CCBC teach on-location for freshmen and sophomores. Juniors and seniors attend WHS half day and then travel to CCBC half day to take their college courses on campus. College credits, college books and all college fees are free to participating magnet students. Dual credits and articulated college credits may be earned from the Community College of Baltimore County. Please visit the BCPS Magnet Programs Office’s Website for more information.
