Running Start

The Corpus Christi College Running Start is designed to provide post-secondary opportunities for students looking for new challenges as a result of enrichment or accelerated programming. Running Start students receive university credit prior to high school graduation and benefit from a gradual transition to university through early exposure to university-level academic work and through interaction with university-level instructors & students. Running Start students also have the opportunity to meet students from other schools who have similar interests and abilities.

Please note: Admission to a Corpus Christi College Running Start course does not imply admission to the Corpus Christi College Liberal Arts Diploma Program. Students wishing to apply to the Diploma Program are invited to consult the College's website for information on the application process.
