The Early College Experience Program in Mathematics

Since 1955, the University has offered some of its courses to superior high school students through the Early College Experience (ECE) Program (since 2005, the name for the former High-School Cooperative Program). Currently available at more than 100 Connecticut high schools, the program offers a wide range of lower-division courses to students who have exhibited the talent and dedication to study university-level material while still in high school.

At present approximately 51 Connecticut high schools participating in the ECE Mathematics Program. Starting in AY 2013-2014, the mathematics courses available are:

• Math 1030Q, Discrete Mathematics
• Math 1131Q, Calculus I
• Math 1132Q, Calculus II.

Math 1131Q-1132Q correspond roughly to the Calculus BC courses of the Advanced Placement Program .

For the Academic Year 2010-2011, there were about 1650 students who took ECE Mathematics courses during the year in 120 classes across the state. In the vast majority of these classes, 97 of them, were calculus classes.
