Worcester Public Schools (WPS) offers several college pathway programs that give our scholars a head start on higher education.

These programs are a great way for scholars to envision themselves attending a college or university. Several of our programs offer advanced coursework, while others provide college credit while a student is still in high school.

Students who are interested in pursuing these programs should speak with their guidance counselors, a faculty member or administrator at their schools. Click on the tabs below for more information.
