About the ECAP Program:

The Early College Admissions Program (ECAP) is a Baltimore
County Public School (BCPS) magnet program that provides students
with a college preparatory program that combines high school and
college in a supportive, yet rigorous educational environment.
Through a partnership with the Community College of Baltimore
County, students will have the opportunity to simultaneously earn a
high school diploma and an Associate of Arts in General Studies
degree or up to 60 credits toward a Bachelor’s degree, which may be
eligible for reciprocal credit at a four-year college or
university. Students will earn credits through course work
completed at both the high school campus and/or at the community
college campus. College credits are tuition free.

Required Scheduling for the ECAP Programs:

Adjunct faculty providing instruction in any of the ECAP
programs require a schedule based on High School hours and faculty
must be able to manage and fully comply with the schedule during
the specific hours during week days. Several classes may be
required within one week, as well as the possibility for class
rotations from week to week. A brief orientation may be required
prior to classes commencing.
