High School Career Academies (HSCA)

At least 50% of a career pathway is offered through dual credit at the high school.

• Programs will be considered for Career Academies when four or more courses are offered for dual credit at the high school.

High school agrees to promote Start College Now for the academy courses that are not offered through dual credit at the high school to encourage completion of credentials, and agrees to allow MPTC staff to hold an informational session for academic and career planning to share potential next steps; including, completing the application and graduation process for the pathway.

• Students who attend an information session, connect with a recruiter and meet eligibility requirements are awarded an admissions fee waiver.

It is understood that Career Academies could change at any point in the school year due to changes in high school dual credit offerings.

*Proposed Academies that do not meet the criteria above may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the K12 Partnership Team at MPTC for consideration.

High School Career Academies can change at any point due to changes in high school dual credit offerings. Due to the varying degree of dual credit courses offered in our district high schools, career academies will vary greatly from district to district.
