The initiative says it’s focusing on these three goals: “setting a statewide vision for dual enrollment, expanding dual enrollment access, and creating intentional dual enrollment experiences with structured pathways toward college credentials.” Statewide meetings involving stakeholders are planned for the fall.
“The College in High School Alliance is a group of organizations working together to improve policies and support programs,” The New Mexico Higher Education Department and The New Mexico Public Education Department stated in a press release. “These programs help high school students enroll in affordable college pathways leading to degrees and certificates, with necessary support.”
The New Mexico Dual Credit Program is a collaborative effort with NMHED, NMPED, local districts and charters, and higher education institutions through the New Mexico Dual Credit Council.
