A Tech Prep student’s high school graduation plan includes a career and technical education (CTE) coherent sequence of two (2) or more CTE courses for three (3) or more credits. At least one CTE course must be eligible for college credit through articulation (local or statewide) or dual credit by concurrent enrollment. |
| Tech Prep Postsecondary Student |
| A Tech Prep postsecondary student is a student who is participating in the secondary portion of an approved Tech Prep program of study and is enrolled in an approved Tech Prep postsecondary program. The student may or may not have completed all of the prerequisite secondary courses but should have completed a majority of the plan. The student may be eligible to receive articulated college credit. |
| Tech Prep Program Completer |
| A Tech Prep program completer is a student who has participated in both the secondary and postsecondary portions of an approved Tech Prep program of study and has received an appropriate postsecondary two-year degree, or completed a State or industry-recognized certification or licensure. A successful completer will continue his or her education toward a baccalaureate degree and/or beyond, find employment in an appropriate career field, and/or enter military service. |
| Completion of a High School Tech Prep Program |
| A student does not need to complete all courses in a Tech Prep high school graduation plan to be a high school Tech Prep student or to continue in a postsecondary Tech Prep program, although a student should take a majority of the plan, including courses eligible for college credit. Although a student is encouraged to take as many courses in the Recommended High School Program as possible, he or she is not required to be a Tech Prep student. |
A Tech Prep high school graduation plan is based on the Recommended High School
Program (RHSP) in order to prepare students to continue in a college program that
leads to a minimum of a two-year postsecondary degree or complete a State or industry-recognized
certification or licensure.
