The Commonwealth Collegiate Academy provides high quality early college courses and programming to students in many communities throughout Massachusetts. CCA prioritizes access to this opportunity to students who have been historically under served by post-secondary education, breaking barriers by giving students insight into the academic rigor of college at no cost to them or their families. CCA gives students a jump start on college success.
"Within the next 5 years we plan to expand our early college initiative to serve more than 2000 high school students."
UMass President, Marty Meehan
