The Early College Partnership (ECP) is an early-entrance-to-college program located on the campus of St. Louis Community College (STLCC) – Wildwood. Depending on the pathway selected, students attend ECP full or part-time for one or two years, replacing traditional high school courses taken during the junior and or senior year(s). While in ECP, students are enrolled in a curriculum consisting of college coursework taught by professors at STLCC – Wildwood.

This is a unique and innovative opportunity for students to socialize and study in a learning community of peers.
