Currently, Cass Tech has four Dual Enrollment partnerships…Wayne County Community College District, (WCCCD), Wayne State University, (WSU), Lawrence Technological University (LTU) and a special cohort partnership with the University of Michigan School of Social Work-Dearborn. WCCCD offers students a chance to earn college credit and/or earn an Associate’s Degree after successfully completing a 60 Credit Program.
Dual enrollment programs allow students to take college classes while they’re still enrolled in high school. These classes count for both high school and college credit. High school students who complete dual enrollment may need to take fewer classes in college due to earning transferable college credit. The recommended choice of credit is COLLEGE Credit ONLY and not both High School and College. Why? If a student selects high school and college credit, the grade they earn in classes will be calculated into their high school GPA and could adversely impact their high school GPA and class ranking.
The advantages of Dual Enrollment include:
Challenging Coursework…When students opt to take dual enrollment courses, they’re exposed to rigorous coursework with college professors teaching their courses.
Accelerated Learning…Since students begin earning college credit while still in high school, they can enter college with their prerequisites completed or halfway done. This shortens their graduation timeline and allows them more opportunities to explore electives and even double majors.
Cost-Effective…One of the biggest advantages of dual enrollment is the reduced price of higher education. With college tuition increasing over the past decades, dual enrollment courses provide the perfect opportunity to drive down your student’s out-of-pocket costs. If classes are offered through the high school your child attends, the fees for the courses are likely covered through the partnership. This allows students to get a taste of college with minimal financial burden—as a result, making college more attainable.
Things to consider:
Do Your Research… Credits May Not Transfer!!!
Students and parents need to research their college options and confirm if they will or will not accept dual enrollment course credit. In most cases credits will transfer. However, there are some circumstances when they won’t. For example, if your student chooses to attend a private university, there is a chance that they might not accept the credit due to not being able to verify the merit of the classes.
Another reason an institution might not accept the credit is if it’s located out of state. In that case, it could be difficult for credits to transfer. Or the school may accept the credit, but not count it toward your student’s degree.
Greater Expectations… Your child’s ability to BALANCE a busy schedule should be considered before deciding to participate in dual enrollment. Figuring out how to alter their schedule could be a difficult task for them to take on if they want to participate in sports and other extracurricular activities.
Additionally, the coursework is more challenging, and students will be graded based on their performance. With that, students who choose to enroll in dual enrollment courses must be committed to putting in extra work to complete assignments and receive a passing grade.
Also, Parents can be assessed fees if a student does not pass a class, withdraw form a class, or walk away from a class.
Even with these things to consider…
Cass Tech has the largest Dual Enrollment Participants in the entire district.
Cass Tech has had, over the years, the largest WCCCD Dual Enrollment Associate Degree Graduates.
***At this time, DPSCD does not offer summer dual enrollment classes. Students on the Associate’s Degree Track or desire to earn an associate’s degree through WCCCD, MUST pay for tuition on their own to take summer classes-this is the only way to ensure 60 REQUIRED credit hours are earned within a 3-4 year period. Tuition cost for summer classes is per credit hour.
Also, while LTU does not offer a degree track, they do offer affordable summer tuition per class taken and not per credit hour.
Additionally, LTU and WSU offer Saturday classes.
Grades and Transcripts Must be requested and ordered directly from each dual enrollment partnership. Cass Tech does not have access to dual enrollment partners’ databases.

Mission
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the IB works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
The IB Diploma Programme
Life in the 21st century, in an interconnected, globalized world, requires critical-thinking skills and a sense of international-mindedness, something that International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme students come to know and understand.
What is the Diploma Programme?
The IB Diploma Programme is designed as an academically challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepare students, normally aged 16 to 19, for success at university and life beyond. The programme is normally taught over two years and has gained recognition and respect from the world's leading universities.
The curriculum
IB Diploma Programme students study six courses at higher level or standard level. Students must choose one subject from each of groups 1 to 5, thus ensuring breadth of experience in languages (English and a Global Language), Social Studies or Business, Sciences and Mathematics. The sixth subject may be an arts subject chosen from group 6, or the student may choose another subject from groups 1 to 5.
In addition the programme has three core requirements that are included to broaden the educational experience and challenge students to apply their knowledge and understanding.
The extended essay is a requirement for students to engage in independent research through an in-depth study of a question relating to one of the subjects they are studying.
Theory of knowledge is a course designed to encourage each student to reflect on the nature of knowledge by critically examining different ways of knowing (perception, emotion, language and reason) and different kinds of knowledge (scientific, artistic, mathematical and historical).
Creativity, activity & service require that students actively learn from the experience of doing real tasks beyond the classroom. Students can combine all three components or do activities related to each one of them separately.
What is the IB learner profile?
The IB learner profile is the IB mission statement translated into a set of learning outcomes for the 21st
century.The learner profile provides a long-term vision of education.
It is a set of ideals that can inspire, motivate and focus the work of schools and teachers, uniting them in a common purpose.
IB learners strive to be:
- Inquirers
- Knowledgeable
- Thinkers
- Communicators
- Principled
- Open-minded
- Caring
- Risk-takers
- Balanced
- Reflective
