Running Start Creates Options for Students

Running Start creates an alternative way for students to transition to college. Running Start and other dual-credit programs provide post-secondary schooling for students whose options may otherwise be limited. For high school students, Running Start is one of the most readily available college-level learning opportunities in the state.

Some high schools consider the college classes available to their students through Running Start to be part of the high school curriculum. Running Start and other dual-enrollment programs have made inroads on integrating the two systems. This integration allows students to more easily navigate the education system.
