Created in 2011 through a partnership between Muckleshoot Tribal College and Northwest Indian College, the Early College Program gives Muckleshoot youth a head start — a chance to experience college coursework and earn college and/or high school credit before they graduate. Each summer, students take part in a supportive, culturally grounded set of classes designed to build confidence, credits, and a sense of what's possible after high school.
