DITEC - Dickinson-Iron Technical Early College
The Dickinson-Iron Technical Early College program is partnering with Bay College to offer students in the Welding, Computer Networking and Security, Mechatronics, Educational Careers and Health Occupations programs an early college experience. The DITEC is a grade 11-13 program. Students will complete some of their coursework at the Technical Center in grades 11 and 12 through dual enrollment. They will complete the rest of their college requirements through Bay College during their 13th year. This program will allow students to earn a high school diploma and an associate’s degree or certificate at the same time.

Dual Enrollment
Students at the Dickinson-Iron Technical Education Center and in Iron County are eligible to take advantage of post secondary Dual Enrollment with area technical schools, community colleges, and universities. Dual enrollment affords eligible students the opportunity to receive college credit for course work that has been completed and documented. Students may earn college credits if they meet eligibility criteria between their class and the corresponding college. Dual Enrollment permits students to save money and time since they can avoid repeating redundant course work. This arrangement is a significant advantage for students as they work toward college degrees or certifications.
The Dual Enrollment process we have developed is a huge advantage for the increasing number of Tech Ed graduates who are taking advantage of advanced post secondary educational opportunities. These agreements jump start their college experience by providing advanced placement in the program of their choice, saving them considerable time and money in the process. Technical Education teachers have worked hard to develop these agreements as their curriculums must be closely scrutinized by each post secondary institution. Developing these agreements is labor intensive but the benefits afforded to Tech Ed graduates are well worth it.
Dual Enrollment credits are currently offered in computer networking, welding, mechatronics, educational careers, medical terminology, and graphics.
