Through a partnership arrangement with the Texas CC system and high school systems, high school students will begin taking (free) dual-credit courses in their junior year. If they do this they will complete their entire first two years of college by the time they graduate high school. It looks like they will also look to CLEPs and the like, though they only mention AP in the article. The program is open to Texas high school students.
I think this is an incredibly bold move, and an ingenious approach that can lay down a path for other states to follow. And it's a degree from Texas A&M, not exactly an unknown school!
Thank you! LOVE THIS!
