College Tech Prep is the educational initiative of the future that's here today. In College Tech Prep, students get real world working experiences, career exploration, training in today's newest technologies, and the academic foundation they need to succeed in college.
College Tech Prep takes the best things about college prep classes and technical education and combines them into a seamless program that begins in high school and continues through an associate degree in college and beyond.
