STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Beginning fall 2023, Wortham High School students can earn university credit before they graduate, thanks to Tarleton State University\u2019s dual enrollment program, Tarleton Today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tarleton and Wortham Independent School District leaders signed the agreement in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis newest partnership furthers our commitment to educational attainment for all Texans,\u201d said Tarleton President James Hurley. \u201cAcademically ambitious students at Wortham High School experience the expectations of college while earning university credit, saving them time and money while they learn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tarleton already collaborates with more than 350 school districts statewide, including Wortham, through its nationally acclaimed Distinguished High School Partners outreach. Launched in 2020, the program guarantees admission and provides annual scholarships to qualifying seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students participating in Tarleton Today take university courses over a traditional school year, receiving the high school portion of their instruction from their high school teacher and the university portion from a Tarleton professor. In addition to course content, Tarleton faculty empower students with university-ready skills and provide professional development for collaborating teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tarleton is developing dual enrollment opportunities in agricultural and STEM areas with school districts throughout Texas. Districts will choose the courses they offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWortham ISD is excited about our partnership with Tarleton to provide opportunities for our students to work toward their educational goals,\u201d said Wortham ISD Superintendent Melissa Bosley. \u201cTogether we are committed to creating pathways for students to excel, learn and grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dual enrollment classes use the same lesson materials and learning objectives as courses taught at a Tarleton campus. Students who continue their education at Tarleton automatically qualify for additional scholarships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
