WHAT IS CTE DUAL CREDIT?

Career & Technical (CTE) Dual Credit is a program that offers high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors the opportunity to take CTE classes that earn both high school and college credit (a 3 hour college credit = 1 Carnegie unit) for a discounted rate. These classes are offered on local high school campuses only.

*For Academic/General Education classes, check out our Academic Dual Credit Program. 

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO ENROLL?

  • Be classified as a sophomore, junior, or senior as documented by an official high school transcript
  • Have a minimum 2.0 high school GPA
  • Be granted acceptance into a CTE class at a local high school
