Experience College Before College
OnRamps offers semester- and year-long college-credit bearing courses, designed by The University of Texas at Austin faculty, to give students a chance to experience college before college and prepare them for the academic and social expectations of higher education.
We partner with school districts to bring OnRamps courses to their campuses. Courses are delivered through a dual enrollment model, which means students are enrolled in both a high school course, led by a high school teacher, taught on the campus, and a college course, led by a faculty member or college instructor of record, taught online.
