College Admission Requirements
College Tech Prep pathways link high school and college programs in
specific technology areas. When you enroll
in College Tech Prep, you’re beginning a pre-college program.
-
The majority of College Tech Prep partners are open access institutions.
If you graduate from an accredited high school you will likely earn
college admission. However, if you are
pursuing an associate or baccalaureate degree, specific academic
requirements must be satisfied before you are formally enrolled in a
degree program. These requirements vary according to program and
college.
-
Before you register for classes, your
college will assess your academic credentials through testing—such
as the ACT Compass®
placement testing for mathematics, writing, and reading. If
deficiencies are indicated, you will be encouraged to enroll in
developmental courses to build a strong foundation for rigorous
college curriculum. These courses often carry college fees—without
awarding college credit.
-
In high school, mastery of your
technology must be aligned with solid achievement in math, writing and
reading. Making up deficiencies in college increases your costs
and lengthens the time required to earn a degree.
-
Many colleges require one or two units of a foreign language. If you
select a language in the ninth and 10th grades, you can concentrate on
your technology during last two years of high school.
