Concurrent & Dual Enrollment

Pima JTED moves students to careers and college, and we can help you achieve your career goals faster than your peers by giving you the opportunity to earn college credits while you’re in high school. If you’re interested in one of our Career & Technical Education programs that we offer at Pima Community College you’ll earn concurrent enrollment. Almost all of our Central Campus programs offer you the opportunity to earn dual enrollment.
