 		Students can earn college credit while in high school through Tech Prep. Each DCCCD Tech Prep program is a planned sequence of course work developed cooperatively between the public school districts and the DCCCD. These programs are supported and approved by both The Texas Education Agency (TEA) and The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). Approved programs for DCCCD are indicated in this catalog with the degree plans/curriculum patterns section.

Tech prep is a college prep program that prepares students for technical careers. Each program prepares students for direct entry into the workplace as technically skilled employees and also provides students with opportunities to earn an advanced skills certificate or to further their studies at area universities.

High school students follow these PREP steps to participate in Tech Prep:

  1. Pick a Tech Prep career program offered at your high school.
  2. Register to take the high school Tech Prep course work.

    After high school graduation

  3. Enroll in the Tech Prep program at one of the DCCCD colleges. When you identify yourself as a Tech Prep student, a counselor will help you determine the next level course you will need to complete with a grade of C or better.
  4. Petition to articulate high school Tech Prep course work credit into the program degree plan and complete the college course work.

For more information about Tech Prep career preparation programs contact the counselor or career and technology teacher at your high school or call the DCCCD District Tech Prep office at (214) 860-2324.
