Regional Academy Programs

Regional Academy

The Regional Academy is an exceptional opportunity that allows high school students to explore post-secondary specialized programs of study in high demand career fields. Student cohorts from across the region meet daily on the VWCC campus to complete course work that meets the foundational requirements for degree programs often while completing a VWCC Career Studies Certificate or industry credentialing examinations. These students are considered VWCC students, therefore the class tuition is full price and it is paid directly to the college.

THERE WILL BE AN INFORMATIONAL ZOOM MEETING FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS ON FEBRUARY 4TH FROM 6-7 PM. PLEASE SIGN UP HERE TO ATTEND.
