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.
