This is an information meeting for school districts interested in learning about the Early College Information Technology Program. With the growing shortage of qualified information technology professionals in the northeast Ohio region, the state of Ohio, and nationally, this program is being offered to high school students with a direct pathway towards college admission. The ESC of Northeast Ohio has partnered with the University of Cincinnati’s School of Information Technology Program, and courses will be offered through the Ohio Online Learning Program. Students who successfully complete the Early IT program by earning a C or above in all six IT courses plus college English, Math, and an approved elective will have completed the equivalent of the freshman year and are guaranteed admission into the University of Cincinnati-CECH Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) or Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BS Cyber) program. The first cohort of students will begin at the end of January!
