SDV101 Orientation to College (1)
* Prerequisite Courses for Precision Machining Program.
* A student who enrolls in Precision Machining I and Precision Machining II will be given a rigorous course syllabus that will include
the requirements necessary to meet state CTE competencies as well as DCC course requirements.
* If a student completes and passes all of the program requirements, he/she would graduate high school with the following:
- Standard Diploma
- 30 High School Credits
- DCC Advanced Manufacturing Career Studies Certificate
- 48 Dual Enrollment Credits
* Students/Parents would save an estimated $6,000.00 by completing this Program of Studies while in high school.
* Students could enroll in the Precision Machining Technology Program at DCC in June and graduate in May ready for industry, just one year after graduation.
