The Century in the High School program is in a growth phase and has expanded to serve multiple Partner High Schools and provide college credits in eight disciplines (see below). Benefits for teachers and high schools include:
- Attract and retain academically-strong student body
- Access to resources provided by higher education institution
- Strengthen high school academic departments
- Professional development for teachers
- Increase public awareness of community partnerships and quality standards
The information below is intended to give educators (teachers, administrators and/or staff) an overview on some of key points in becoming a part of our learning community. The Guide Book is your primary reference for more information, forms, policies, and more.
Century in the High School Educator Information
Cost Structure
Century College charges its Partner High Schools for each concurrent enrollment program to cover costs of the faculty mentor and program administration.
Minnesota State now has uniform pricing for concurrent enrollment programs at its institutions and charges based on a mentor-mentee relationship. Minnesota State set the two-year college fee to $3,000 per mentor-mentee relationships for each course each semester.
Program Requirements
- Class Size
Class size varies by the course and by department. Class size may not exceed the approved number by more than two (2) students. If class size exceeds the approved number, the faculty mentor/Director for Partnerships and Collaborations must seek approval from the MSCF representative and the administration prior to the start of the course. Class size will be provided to the Partner High School by Director for Partnerships and will be communicated in the contracting and planning documents. - Number of enrolled students
Century College recommends all students in the course to be concurrently enrolled with Century College. To enroll students in the course who are not concurrently enrolled requires permission by the college president (per Minnesota State procedure 3.5.1, Part 4, Subpart H, 2.) If this exception is granted, a majority (51%) of students enrolled in the course must be concurrently enrolled with Century College and the high school instructor must ensure the concurrently enrolled students receive a college-level experience in the classroom. - Course content
High school instructors must teach a course that contains all learning outcomes and major content found on the common course outline. - Textbooks
Appropriate textbook or reading materials should be ordered/used in consultation with the faculty mentor and the high school instructor. The cost of the textbooks is the responsibility of the Partner High School. Supplemental materials may suffice for a textbook with approval from the faculty mentor. - Teacher eligibility
Student teachers, long-term substitutes, and unapproved high school instructors may not teach concurrent enrollment courses. ONLY high school instructors who have been approved to teach the course may instruct the students. Failure to comply with this jeopardizes Century College’s ability to provide courses at your high school.
