Career and technical education credit (CTE) courses are college courses students can take in high school. These courses are an early credit strategy designed to support student transitions from secondary to post-secondary programs and direct entry into the workforce. Earning articulated college credits is a great way to begin your college career while still attending high school. Learn more about high schools that have articulated courses with Century College.
Century in the High School, a concurrent enrollment program, offers high school students the opportunity to earn college credit while taking courses in their high school.

This allows students to start their college journey earlier and for no cost. Find out if your high school participates and and what courses are offered!
