Expanding Educational Horizons: Palomar College and Ramona Unified Enhance Local Student Opportunities

Palomar Community College District and Ramona Unified School District are expanding their partnership to better serve students in Ramona. They aim to increase educational and career training opportunities through enhanced dual and concurrent enrollment programs. These programs allow high school students to take college courses and earn credits for free.

Dual enrollment programs are incorporated into the high school curriculum, allowing students to gain both high school and college credits at the same time. These programs, part of the College and Career Access Pathway (CCAP), are available at public high schools within the Palomar Community College District. They include academic counseling and access to college resources.

Concurrent enrollment offers students the choice to take college courses either on-site or online. This option provides flexibility for students who prefer to manage their studies independently, helping them advance their education while still in high school.

The expansion of these programs addresses the growing need for skilled workers in various industries. By offering these opportunities, the districts aim to better prepare students for future careers, equipping them with essential skills and knowledge.
