Mississippi has a range of pathways available. The state currently has dual enrollment (courses taken for college credit only) but is in the process of creating dual credit opportunities (courses taken for high school and college credit). Unusually, Tech Prep is a middle school program rather than a high school to college pathway and is considered a priority in the state as evidenced by its level of funding. The active P-20 initiative brings together representatives of different educational levels in support of improving transition to college in the state. This initiative is seen as helping to develop greater collaboration and positive opportunities for students.
