Jefferson State Community College has developed formal articulation agreements with many secondary school systems within the Jefferson County area. The agreements award advanced placement credit in the following programs:
- Hospitality Management
- Office Administration Technology
- Manufacturing and Technology
- Art
Students entering Health-Related programs may receive credit for CPR certification.
The articulated programs are designed as 2+2 Tech Prep Associate Degree in Applied Science Programs and consist of a structured high school curriculum that prepares students with the beginning courses of the technology programs listed above. The programs are the middle ground between the liberal arts and the practical arts and run parallel with but do not replace the college prep/ baccalaureate degree programs. They contain a common core of learning, a technical core, and rest upon a foundation of basic proficiency development in applied mathematics, applied science, and communication skills.
Students who complete the high school portion of the program may receive advanced placement credit according to agreements and at the discretion of the college program coordinator. Students who wish to take advantage of this credit must see the college program director prior to registration and must have the proper documentation to meet the requirements. Questions about documentation may be addressed to either the college program director or the high school vocational instructor.
