2019 Jump Start Class

Running Start

Running Start at Northeastern provides an early college opportunity for TRIO eligible students. 

Join us August 10th-13th, 2025 to get a running start on your college experience. 

Students arrive on campus early, move into the residence halls, spend time refreshing academic skills, getting oriented to campus and the community, and making friends.

"I liked the environment and knowing that I have a lot of resources to look for when I’m struggling or need help. I also enjoy doing things that I’ve never done before and being able to experience them for the first time." - student from 2018

  • meet fellow students and make new friends.

The opportunity is funded by Northeastern's TRIO grant.

NJC helped me obtain my GED and from there has only pushed me further to continue my education.

I choose NJC for its affordability and its rather informal education style. Because it is a small college you have more one on one opportunities with your instructors.
