The Weber State University Early College program is designed to allow high school students to take college classes that may not be offered at their local high school. Students participating in the Early College program have access to any first or second year college class available for Weber State students. These classes can be held on any of Weber State's campus sites, online, or through a hybrid format where there will be some in person or online meetings throughout the semester.
