What is an Academy?

• A series of dual enrollment courses in a specific career pathway that leads to the completion of a designated Moraine Park Technical College (MPTC) High School Career Academy (HSCA) credential.
• It offers a college preparatory curriculum focused on a particular career area.
• This credential equips students with skills that can help them earn higher wages in the workplace and/or provide a jumpstart toward completing a higher-level degree at MPTC and one of its university partners.

What is an Academy Student?

A high school student who purposefully and intentionally takes dual enrollment courses towards completion of a designated Moraine Park Technical College (MPTC) High School Career Academy (HSCA) credential before high school graduation. To complete an academy and earn the credential, a student must be admitted to the program.

High School Career Academies can change at any point due to changes in high school dual credit offerings. Due to the varying degree of dual credit courses offered in our district high schools, career academies will vary greatly from district to district.
