CAREER DUAL ENROLLMENT
SJR State offers Career Dual Enrollment as an option for high school students to earn industry certifications which also count as credit toward a high school diploma. Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are an exciting alternative to the traditional university pathway and can lead to high-wage, high-skill, high-demand careers. Eligible students must have a 2.0 cumulative, unweighted high school GPA. However, if the program requires General Education courses, students must have a cumulative, unweighted 3.0 GPA and appropriate scores for the PSAT, SAT, Pre-ACT, ACT or PERT exams to take those courses.
