UNCG iSchool Online Early College Program for Homeschool Students
UNCG iSchool is an award-winning, nationally accredited early college program that gives high school juniors and seniors a head start on their college education.
Courses are offered online as distance learning classes by UNCG's own faculty. These are the courses most students take during their first two years of college, regardless of their major. Students receive a UNCG transcript. They can transfer their credit to colleges and universities that normally accept UNCG credit.
