High School Connections

Select Your Desired Pathway & Classes

The Career & Technical Education Pathways for High School Connections students includes many certificate programs to help further students education. After graduating high school students will have certificates to go along with any associate degree they may want to obtain.

The College Transfer Pathway leading to the Associate in Arts is designed for high school juniors and seniors who wish to begin study toward the Associate in Arts degree and a baccalaureate degree in a non-STEM major. The pathway is a structured set of courses included in the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) between the University of North Carolina and the North Carolina Community College System.
