Earn a Degree and Graduate Early
Complete a career pathways program at your high school or technical center and you could earn EDGE credit through Pierpont Community & Technical College. In fact, all West Virginia Career & Technical Centers provide classes that could allow you to earn free college credits.
Will EDGE help me?
