Beyond the academic advantages, these programs offer numerous financial benefits, contributing to a seamless transition to other college degree programs.
Reduced Tuition Expenses
By completing an associate degree in high school, Thorobred Academy students can significantly
reduce the number of semesters required to earn a higher degree, resulting in substantial
savings on tuition fees.
Reduced Student Loan Debt
With fewer semesters to finance, Thorobred Academy students can minimize their reliance
on student loans or even graduate debt-free, providing long-term financial stability
and reducing the burden of loan repayments.
Complete College General Education Requirements
Kentucky is a general education-certified state, meaning that students who complete
their associate degree are considered to have completed their general education requirements.
Accelerated Time to Degree
With college credits already in hand, Thorobred Academy students can graduate earlier
than their peers, having completed many prerequisite courses. This saves money on
additional classes or even full semesters!
