Description
Introduction An increasing number of secondary students in the United States are now being required to take an online course as a graduation requirement. The state of Michigan, for example, now requires that all students take at least one online course for graduation from high school. There are also increased funding opportunities in the United States to support initiatives serving secondary students with options to take university courses in areas such as mathematics, science, and foreign languages, while still enrolled in secondary schools. To capitalize on these funding opportunities and increased competition and pressure to entice secondary students to universities, some universities are offering university courses for university and secondary school credit. These programs, often called Post-Secondary Programs, may have secondary students attend university part-time or have a secondary classroom educator teaching university courses to secondary students within their secondary classrooms.
