What Courses Are Offered?
Dual/Concurrent Credit courses are offered in a variety of
subject areas...
ACADEMIC courses will serve to complete college course
requirements typically associated with freshman and sophomore level
courses necessary for a Texas Associate's Degree that can be
applied to a bachelor's degree at any Texas Four-year
University.
(Examples: English, Government, History, Biology, Math,
Psychology, Art)
TECHNICAL courses will serve to complete career and technical
educational programs are related to various high-demand occupations
which require one to two years of training and will allow students
to go to work immediately after their training is completed. Even
more importantly, most of these career and technical programs are
designed to allow students to move into a career pathway. Many of
our programs have articulation agreements in order for the
Technical degrees to lead to a BAAS.
(Examples: Accounting, Auto Collision, Computer Maintenance,
Child Development, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Drafting, Welding
)
