Exploring your
college options
Plan
It’s important to be thoughtful about what type of college will be the best fit for you based on your career goals and personality. Colleges come in all shapes and sizes (two year, four year, public, private, small, large, urban, rural), and you will want to pay attention to required tasks and timelines along the way. You can even get started early by earning college credits while still in high school with Running Start, College in the High School, and CTE College Credit.
