Dual Credit Classes Make Computer Science Degrees within Reach
In McLean County, Ill., some students are on track to graduate, not with just a high school diploma, but with an Associate’s degree in computer science. The new accelerated program allows students to begin taking dual enrollment classes starting the summer before their junior year to get them through the program by the time they graduate from 12th grade. These students will help fill the gap left by “millions of baby boomers who are retiring now through the next 15 years” (Evelsizer and Sobota, Pantagraph).
