STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 <\/em>Beginning fall 2023, Venus 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 Venus Independent School District leaders signed the agreement in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis partnership strengthens our commitment to educational attainment for all<\/em> Texans,\u201d said Tarleton President James Hurley. \u201cEarning university credit while learning the expectations of higher education helps high school students bridge the transition to college while also saving them money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarleton already collaborates with more than 350 school districts statewide, including Venus, 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

\u201cWe are excited to provide this opportunity for our high school students,\u201d said Venus ISD Superintendent James Hopper. \u201cWe feel that this partnership with Tarleton helps us achieve our goal of \u2018growing excellence in each one, each day\u2019!\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":"
