Project Lead the Way is a cooperative, statewide initiative involving the New Hampshire Community Technical College System, New Hampshire Department of Education, University of New Hampshire, businesses and New Hampshire school districts. The goal of PLTW - NH is to prepare students for post-secondary education and work in engineering and engineering/technology fields. In some PLTW courses, for a fee per course, the student may receive college credit.
Transfer credit is generally accepted among accredited schools; however, the acceptance of transfer credit is at the discretion of the institution being asked to accept it. Students having a specific school or program in mind may wish to contact the school or program about transfer credit prior to registering.
