Early College Essentials, TCC (EC21) Technical Certificate of Credit
**This program is only offered to dual enrollment students.**
This Technical Certificate of Credit is designed for a cooperative agreement between technical colleges and four-year colleges/universities in the area. These students have been identified as capable of performing academically at the college level and some are disengaged at the high school and are at risk of dropping out.
Program Outcomes: Students will develop essential skills across diverse disciplines: producing college-level essays and research papers, analyzing the multifaceted impacts of economic, historical, political, psychological, and sociological factors on society, applying mathematical and scientific concepts to problem-solving, and integrating humanities knowledge with historical and cultural contexts.
Careers: Students who choose the Early College Essentials TCC are encouraged to continue working toward their associate degree at the technical college. Students would then have the opportunity to attend a four-year college or university after completing the associate degree.
