Embedded two-year programs
4-YEAR SCHOOLS WHICH OFFER 2-YEAR DEGREES OR HAVE SPECIAL 2-YEAR PRORGAMS
Programs where the students live and participate in the 4-year school but study at the community school. Where transfer programs are available, this seems like a great option for the right student.
NOTE: NCAA rules may prohibit community college students from playing.

OTHER INTERESTING OPTIONS CITED AND RECOMMENDER COMMENTS
Bard College at Simon's Rock - http://simons-rock.edu/ (Great Barrington, MA) an early college: enrolls students after they have completed the 10th or 11th grade of High School.
Several schools have one year "conditional admit" programs, where the student needs to achieve a certain GPA and then can be in the regular classes. - These are: LIU-CW Post, Rider University, Adelphi University, and Fairleigh Dickinson. Typically they look for a 2.5 but have been known to go lower if other factors are more positive. CW Post, for example, requires two of the following: either a 3.0 or a 440 Math or a 480 Verbal.
