The Fast Track To The Future

The Arapahoe-Douglas Career and Technical School (ACTS) is a division of Arapahoe Community College (ACC). Articulation means that high school students can receive as much as sixteen hours of college credit granted through ACC. ACC and ACTS have entered into formal agreements that enable students to make a smooth transition from secondary to post-secondary programs without experiencing delays or duplication of learning.

The advantages of taking these courses in high school are:

	Students receive ACC articulation credit for classes they take in high school. Courses they don't have to take in college translate into additional money they don't have to spend.
	Students may be able to skip introductory courses at ACC and start at a higher level.
	Students can increase their future earning potential. The average monthly salary of someone with an associate degree can be more than $500 a month higher than the salary of someone with a high school diploma.
