In addition to the Advanced Placement courses listed in the Program of Studies, Niskayuna High School has formed partnerships with a variety of institutions of higher education that provide students the opportunity to graduate from high school with college credit for courses taught at Niskayuna High School. Surveys from the College in the High School Program of Schenectady Community College indicate that students who enter a college or university with credits earned often are able to add a major, have lighter course loads and more flexibility with their scheduling as a result of earning credits in advance. The partnerships and applicable courses are listed on this page. Please note that there is a credit hour fee associated with obtaining college credits for each of the courses outlined below. Tuition fees may be subject to change. Registration information is typically provided to parents and students at the beginning of each course. Please see the course descriptions in this publication for any additional details including final exams and other requirements for credit. If you have questions, please contact the department director.
