See Durham Tech's page for more information about the opportunities juniors and seniors have to earn free college credits while in high school.  There are three main options available via CCP:

1. Career and Technical Education
   • Earn credits toward a CTE certification or diploma
   • Students concurrently take high school courses at PAHS and college courses at Durham Tech.
2. College Transfer
   • Earn transferable* college credit toward a 2- or 4-yr degree.
   • Students concurrently take high school courses at PAHS and college courses at Durham Tech.

*UNC-System 4-yr schools have an articulation agreement for the transfer of credits between NC 2-yr and 4-yr schools.  Non-UNC-System 4-yr colleges may not award all credits from a 2-yr school, although often credits are transferred in as general elective credits, even if the 2-yr course is not fully recognized toward a more-specific major or graduation requirement.

The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) is an unparalleled opportunity for academic and personal growth, particularly for students pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education.  At or through NCSSM, students can attend the residential program, take online courses, or attend numerous in-person or online summer programs. Students who are admitted to NCSSM and fulfill certain academic requirements are guaranteed admission to any UNC System University and tuition is waived!!!

The North Carolina School of the Arts (NCSA) is an unparalleled opportunity for academic and personal growth, particularly for students pursuing Arts education. NCSA offers high school programming with foci in Dance, Drama, Instrumental and Vocal Music, and Visual Arts through a unique blend of a conservatory experience with top-tier traditional academics.
