12,000 College Credits Projected To Be Issued to San Diego Unified Students
For years, Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs have been the leaders in providing a rigorous curriculum and opportunity for students to earn college credits. Over the past three years, San Diego Unified has worked tirelessly to grow their concurrent enrollment program. This is when high school students take college courses at the high school campus. If we add in our high school students taking course(s) on the college campuses then we have just under 3000 students enrolled in college coursework. Between quality instruction from college instructors and support from our skilled school counselor colleagues our students are projected to earn 12,000 college credits. This will save our students time and money, and most importantly are proving to themselves they can handle college work before ever stepping foot on a college campus.
