Career Technical Education (CTE) College Credit
Career and Technical Education (CTE) College Credit
CTE College Credit is a program that offers FREE college credit for approved high
school Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. High school students can prepare
for college and the workforce by completing CTE program sequences of high school elective
classes taught at their high school.
CTE College Credit is awarded to students based on articulation agreements established
by each college for the CTE program, where the colleges will determine the credit
value of a full high school CTE program based on course alignment. An articulation
agreement will be established for each CTE program designating the number of articulated
credits each college will award to students who complete the program. The goal of
this new system is to prepare students to earn a postsecondary credential in less
time and at lower cost.
As per the policy approved by the Nevada State Board of Education and the Nevada Board
of Regents, a Memorandum of Understanding has been developed between the Department
of Education and each of the four participating colleges: College of Southern Nevada,
91黑料网, Truckee Meadows Community College, and Western Nevada College.
Each MOU is signed by the respective college president and by the superintendent of
public instruction.
The Memorandum of Understanding provides the foundational authority to establish statewide
articulation agreements for high school students in Nevada.
