BH-BL+1
BHBL+1 offers students the opportunity to earn an entire year of SUNY college credits, in a general area of interest, while still earning a high school diploma. The vision for BH-BL+1 is for students to graduate from high school with a transcript that could qualify them to enter college as a sophomore.
BH-BL offers a wide variety of Advanced Placement (AP) and College in High School (CHS) courses to choose from. Students must register for the course with the college, pay the tuition and/or exam fee, and successfully complete the BH-BL course and/or AP exam in order to earn the college credits.
In order to participate, students need to demonstrate a high level of aptitude and success in the subject matter, demonstrate a high level of motivation and academic achievement. Many of these courses require teacher recommendation in order to participate. Please refer to the BH-BL Curriculum Guide for course descriptions and requirements.
Below are several sample courses of study at SUNY Schenectady (SCCC) with corresponding SUNY and/or AP courses offered at BHBL. Students can potentially fulfill a portion of the required courses needed to complete this area of study while still in high school. After completing these courses at BH-BL, students can enter SUNY Schenectady and potentially complete an associate degree in one year or directly transfer the courses to another college or university.
