At a Glance

The state does not emphasize one particular academic pathway over another; however, it has seen growth in dual credit/dual enrollment as a way of bridging a curriculum of high school and college. Through the dual credit/dual enrollment and Senior Option program, high school seniors can be ready to do college level work and earn some college credit. There has been a growing effort to connect secondary education to postsecondary education through partnerships with community colleges.
