Dual Credit Courses can Save High
School Students Thousands of Dollars in College Tuition
Tech Prep
serves students in grades 9-12. All Tech Prep dual credit classes are taken
on the high school campus and are identified as Career and Technical Education (CTE)
classes. CTE classes integrate academics with technical skill development to
help prepare students for advanced education and careers related to
"professional-technical" occupations. These include anatomy and physiology,
nursing, veterinary science, business and finance, digi-tools (word processing,
desktop publishing, voice recognition, web-based career exploration and others),
web design, graphic arts, video game design, culinary arts, mechanical
engineering, construction, composite manufacturing and welding.
Running Start
serves students in grades 11-12, including some Tech Prep students. All Running
Start dual credit classes are taken on local community and technical college
campuses. Students typically take dual-credit academic classes such as math,
history and English that they will need to complete an Associate in Arts (AA)
degree or an "AAS-Transfer" which allow them to transfer into a four-year,
baccalaureate program if desired. Students can choose from a variety of degree
and certificate options.
