SUNY Niagara Brings Classes to You
College Acceleration Program
The College Acceleration Program (CAP) offers SUNY Niagara classes to students at several high schools. CAP is a great option for those who want to start working toward a college degree early. CAP’s tuition is discounted, too. It costs $87 per credit for 2025-2026, so a typical three-credit course costs $261.
