[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the poster talking about how it’s “career exploration” only, please remember that for many of these courses the students are dual enrolled and receive college credit… so they do get a bit more.  They get started on the further academic requirements for some of these careers, and they’re sure they want to pursue them (or not) afterward.  That’s valuable.[/quote]

These courses aren’t listed in the PTA program at NVCC, so no, they don’t fulfill any requirements. Career exploration isn’t a bad thing.[/quote]

My kid is at AT, although not in PT. The DE classes at AT have different names than they do at NVCC. Some yearlong classes at AT are semester long classes at NVCC. Sometimes a year long class at AT is equivalent to two classes at NVCC. The best thing it to talk to the teacher and they will be be able to tell you the NVCC course numbers. [/quote]
Thanks for clarifying. I don’t know why people who aren’t enrolled feel compelled to spread misinformation, maybe they are trying to get a spot for their kid next year. The website is a snippet of information. Students who are enrolled in the school get more information. [/quote]
