Community College; e.g., Computer Aided Drafting.

from DeSales University teach college courses on campus during our
school day; e.g., English 103, English 104, among others. These
earn three credits per semester per course.

qualified students may take courses from any local college. If
possible, we tailor the Becahi schedule to accommodate the college
schedule.
