Early College Academy

This is a college preparatory program and is a school itself within CEC. Students take classes at CEC in the morning and in the afternoon take classes at CNM for dual credit as both college and high-school classes. [ [http://www.cec.aps.edu/eca/earlycollege.shtml Early College Academy ] ]

Practical Nursing Program

CEC offers a Nursing program for which High School Sophomores may apply. The application process is fairly rigorous. Once accepted students will spend 5 semesters, including some time in the summers working to further their knowledge of medical care. Students take classes and also receive experience with various care providers around the Albuquerque area. After completing the program students are able to take the New Mexico Licensing Exam and attempt to receive status as a Licensed Practical Nurse.
