MALTA — Kishwaukee College’s Engineering, Math & Science Academy welcomed 27 local high school students into the program this summer, making it the largest class since 2016. The 2019-2020 EMSA class consists of students from DeKalb High School, Genoa-Kingston High School, Sycamore High School and Oregon High School.
The unique program offers high school students an early start on their college careers by taking college-level courses during junior or senior year. Students can earn up to 23 credit hours through the EMSA program, generally transferrable to 4-year public universities. EMSA students have transferred to some of the top engineering schools in the country, including the University of Illinois, Purdue, Georgia Tech and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
“EMSA is a great opportunity for highly motivated students that are looking to get a head start on college,” says EMSA advisor and assistant professor of physics & engineering Alan Edgecombe. “Kish College offers small class sizes and a great learning environment at an affordable cost.”
