Articulated college credit courses are career and technical education college courses students can take while still attending 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. High School teachers apply to teach the college courses at the high school. If Century College approves the teacher application, high school students can enroll in these courses at their high school and receive college credit from Century. 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!
