CTE Dual Credit
CTE Dual Credit allows students pursuing a career and technical program to earn college credit while in high school. CTE Dual Credit classes count as college credit and fulfill a high school graduation requirement at the same time.
Students earning CTE Dual Credit start their college program before they even graduate from high school.
Career and technical programs at your school district prepare you for in-demand careers in a wide variety of industries. Career and technical programs are designed through collaboration with local employers to ensure what you’re learning is important to their company. Graduates of certificate and associate degree programs often obtain higher salaries than those with a bachelor's degree.
High school students who are exploring their options after high school should review the program of study information with a career specialist. You can also check out our CTE dual credit course list for details on courses we offer at each participating high school.
