Through our partnership with Henry Ford College, students who complete the complete sequence of classes in any DPS CTE program, and then enroll at Henry Ford College in the related career program, can earn college credit for the coursework they completed in high school. Visit THIS LINK for more information. There are a few state-wide agreements in place with other colleges and universities in Michigan. You’ll find them listed (with links) at the bottom of this page.
This chart outlines the basic agreements (Items in BOLD are in the process of being finalized). You can click the DPS Program Link to read the high school program/course description. You can use the HFCC Catalog to see the college course names/description. The complete, detailed requirements for each program are found in the documents attached below the table.
NOTE: Most of these agreements are in the process of being renegotiated for the 2022-2023 school year. Changes will be posted here as approved.
