Dual Credit
PNWCC offers high school students the option to earn college credit right at their high school for Career & Technical Education (CTE) classes through the CTE Dual Credit program. CTE Dual Credit recognizes the rigorous and stimulating quality of CTE classes offered in our high schools, rewarding student performance with college credit applicable to professional or technical degree programs, and allowing students to prepare early for a successful future in high demand programs of study that lead to careers with potential.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) Dual Credit, allows you to earn high school and college credit at the same time for successfully completing certain CTE courses offered at Skyline. Students can earn BOTH high school AND community/technical college credit for completing select high school courses with a grade of “B” (3.0) or better and registering through Pacific Northwest College Credit.
Transferability of CTE Dual Credit to other colleges or universities depends on the receiving institution. It is recommended that students contact the college or university they are considering to find out if the credit is accepted. Contact the classroom teacher or the Career Specialist for more information. Information is also found on this website: https://www.pnwcollegecredit.org/ .
