Course Sequence

The College Center (TCC) is an early college program. Scholars are immersed in a rigorous college-readiness curriculum, paired with high levels of academic and social-emotional support within Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) electives. The program is a dual enrollment program in Interdisciplinary Studies that provides scholars with the opportunity to earn more than 60 hours of college credit, while also having an opportunity to complete an Associate in Arts degree from Midlands Technical College (MTC) while still in high school.

The College Center Course Progression

Notes:

• The daily schedule consists of four 80-minute class periods each semester.

• During middle school, some students may have earned a H.S. credit in these courses: Algebra 1, English 1, Geometry or a World Language.

• Due to scheduling issues, a student may have to take a Freshman/Sophomore course the following year.

• The following courses have an End-of-Course (EOC) Exam: Algebra 1, Biology 1, English 2 and U.S. History (taken at the conclusion of HIS 202). 

• An Elective class or an Extended Learning Time (ELT) class may be added to give a student a full schedule for each semester.

• MTC classes meet two days per week. MTC classes are paired together to meet during the same class period each week with one class meeting on Monday & Wednesday and the other on Tuesday & Thursday.

• Seniors will attend one class at MTC, two days per week.

World Language 

Only French and Spanish are offered at The College Center. Colleges prefer or require that both World Language credits are in the same language (e.g., French 1 and French 2).
