The Kalamazoo County Early/Middle College (EMC) program allows students to earn a free associate’s degree or certificate by completing a fifth year of high school. Students delay high school graduation for one year, while they take college courses at Kalamazoo Valley Community College (KVCC). Tuition and fees are paid by the local school district.
EMC expands on dual enrollment, and builds upon classes already offered through Education for Employment (EFE) and Education for the Arts (EFA). Students take courses at KVCC campuses, but may also take KVCC courses on their high school campus (in certain school districts), or through EFE and EFA.
