New program to allow students to earn UW credits while in high school

Students across the state will be able to pick up valuable college credits while still in high school thanks to a new dual enrollment program announced Tuesday by the University of Wisconsin Colleges and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The partnership is to be in place by the start of the 2013-14 academic year….This new initiative is different from the current Youth Options program that allows students to take courses at UW campuses, technical colleges or other higher ed institutions. That?s because the Youth Options students must take classes at the college or university.
