Diplomas & Degrees Program
Diplomas & Degrees Program
The Amarillo College Diplomas & Degrees program is a partnership between Amarillo College and West Plains High School that allows qualifying students the opportunity to earn their Associate's degree in General Studies at the same time they are working towards their high school diploma. West Plains students take all of the dual credit course opportunities offered at West Plains High School, while enrolled simultaneously in Amarillo College, to earn high school credit and college credit for the first two years of a Bachelor’s degree. Once students graduate from West Plains High School and Amarillo College they are able to begin their undergraduate studies at a university academically as a junior in college. Whereas, universities will still consider them as first-time in college students, they will be academically classified as college juniors. During their senior year at West Plains High School and Amarillo College, students will need to be applying for admission to attend a university to continue their undergraduate studies.
Below you will find the semester-by-semester plan for high school/dual credit/concurrent credit degree plan.(each student’s plan looks differently)
