We believe in offering our high school students a variety of opportunities to challenge themselves academically and pursue a college education. This is why we are so pleased to participate in the Ohio Department of Education’s College Credit Plus (CCP) program for students in our High School. This dual-enrollment program is designed to allow Ohio high school students the chance to earn both college and high school credits at the same time. While it is not guaranteed, many colleges will accept these credits toward your student’s undergraduate degree.

CCP courses in partnership with Cedarville University in Cedarville, OH as an official dual enrollment partner. We offer several courses for college credit through an innovative partnership that brings Cedarville’s accredited college coursework into our classrooms.
Located in southwest Ohio, Cedarville University is one of the largest Christian universities in the nation, offering more than 175 undergraduate and graduate programs to over 5,000 students. Cedarville is well regarded and known for its academic rigor and commitment to the Word of God, both intrinsic values that directly align with our school’s values and mission. Cedarville is also fully accredited, and a student can transfer courses to any other college or university, should they decide to enroll elsewhere.
The available CCP courses for MCA students
COM-1100 Fundamentals of Speech
Public speaking and strong verbal communication skills are critical components of many careers. Students learn to inform others about ideas, advocate for a position, work in groups and teams, listen and critique messages, and practice conflict resolution. These skills are imperative to prepare students for an increasingly diverse workforce.
ENG-1400 Composition
The course is designed to assist the student in developing the skills necessary to meet the demands of typical undergraduate writing situations. The course emphasizes critical reading, research, and argumentation, requiring students to apply the writing process, synthesize and document resources into academic discourse, incorporate common writing methods (description, analysis, exposition, and argumentation), and produce effective prose.
GSS-1100 Politics & American Culture
This course serves as an introductory study of America’s Constitution and political institutions, with emphasis on political participation, political culture, and public policy.
ECON-2110 Essentials of Economics
This course provides an introduction to the essential principles of economics. These principles would include such areas as: supply and demand, elasticity, productivity and cost analysis, economic efficiency, national income, the consumer price index, monetary and fiscal policy, business cycles, and economic performance.
To participate in...
College Credit Plus courses, MCA students must first gain admission to Cedarville University. Select students may also be eligible for state funding to cover the cost of tuition through the program. It should be noted that there are increased responsibilities involved in the CCP program for both students and their parents—communication will be key. For example, a college professor is not required to notify a parent if a student misses an assignment deadline or fails a test. Grading periods and school calendars may be different from MCA and will require the student to manage their personal schedule with care. There are more details about the CCP program in our academic catalog.
