MATC APPLICATION DEADLINE: MARCH 1, 2026

Dual Enrollment Academy (DEA) participants receive college-level training to begin careers in high-demand fields. Throughout their senior year, DEA students earn high school and college credits while spending the majority of their school day at MATC. Juniors should met with their School Counselor early to explore options and discuss their high school course plan as students still need to meet all OCHS graduation requirements.
