NPSB Earn Your Associates Degree

NPSB is proud to offer the Fast Forward Program for our high school students! The Fast Forward Program will prepare students for current and emerging professions that expose students to high-skill, high-wage and in-demand occupations.

Students in the Fast Forward Program will have the option to participate in the Associate's Degree Pathway. These post-secondary degrees provide students with a recognized two-year degree that will allow students to either immediately enter the workforce and/or continue to pursue a four-year degree.

Students who are in the 10th grade or higher and qualify for dual-enrollment courses are eligible to enroll in the Fast Forward Program at their high school. For more information, please visit www.npsb.la/fast-forward-program.
