Dual Enrollment (Wake Tech College and Career Promise)

  • Wake Tech’s Career and College Promise (CCP) program – often referred to as "Dual Enrollment"  –  offers eligible high school students the opportunity to earn a credential for employment or credits toward an associates degree. In some cases, students can also earn dual credit – meeting high school credit requirements with college courses.

    One Program / Two Pathways

    The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathway leads to a certificate or diploma aligned with a high school Career Cluster. It is designed for high school students who want to work toward the completion of a credential before graduating from high school. More information...

    The College Transfer Pathway is designed for high school juniors and seniors who wish to begin earning college credit towards an Associates Degree in Arts, Associate in Engineering, Associate in Science or Associate in Fine Arts. These are intended for the eventual transfer to a four-year college or university. More information...
