Ontario Business Pathway

Together, Ontario Local Schools and North Central State College developed the Ontario CCP Business Pathways Partnership under Ohio’s College Credit Plus (CCP) program, to offer this incredible opportunity for area juniors and seniors. Earn your Associate Degree in Business Administration (A.A., Business Administration) at Ontario High School during 11th and 12th grade.

The format allows students to participate fully in their high school experience, while completing two years of transferrable college credit, and earning their Associate degree in the same month as their high school diploma. This program blends high-quality education with flexibility, preparing students for success in the world of business.

Ontario High School Principal Chris Smith explains, “By combining the resources and expertise of a high school, a community college, and a university, we’re bringing relevant higher education directly to our students.”
