Dual credit biology course is a course that is taught on our high school campus, Arlington College and Career High School. Our campus is an early college high school partnered with the Tarrant County College Southeast Campus. Offering a dual credit biology course on our campus allows our students to take the course in a familiar environment and to easily access extra supports provided by the instructor. The instructor, an embedded dual credit faculty member, meets all SACS requirements to teach the course but is employed by the ISD. She teaches high school science courses as well as dual credit biology. The goal and objective for offering this course on our campus is to help our students establish a love for science and to continue to pursue courses and career pathways in STEM fields, which is a high needs employment field in Texas. Our target population are first generation, low income, high school students (dual credit students) who sometimes need a great deal of support and encouragement to help them believe they can achieve. Our dual credit embedded biology instructor, Jennifer Meador, is able to provide the perfect balance of support and rigor that enables students to learn the college readiness skills required to help them succeed. We have seen a large increase in the amount of students who want to pursue STEM careers after taking her course. The impact she has on their progress is creating generational change that will help to further build a talent strong Texas.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program is in-person only.
PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)
PROGRAM OUTCOMES: In both the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 semesters, 96 percent of students enrolled in the embedded dual credit biology course successfully completed the course, earning a C or higher.

The aims of this project are to implement a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system that will provide the School of Health Professions (SHP) at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center with the capacity to reach underserved populations statewide. Currently, the school relies on a “boots on the ground” approach with one recruiter and limited technology. Advising for underserved students is currently too lightly resourced on both the sides of the enrollment funnel, which is an obstacle that the technical solution of a CRM can help to overcome. Streamlining efficient communications and recruiting processes will enhance the school’s ability to reach underserved populations and help to prepare these students for entry into high-demand and high-paying jobs in the health care industry. The CRM implementation will be heavily focused on establishing communications and recruitment strategies that enable the student success division of the SHP to target recruiting to Early College High School (ECHS) campuses in Houston and Greater Houston and establishing seamless articulations with community colleges across Houston and Greater Houston to include Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria counties.

Honors College students have the unique advantage of experiencing an intellectually and socially vibrant environment while having access to the vast resources of a major research university at Texas Tech. Honors College students simultaneously benefit from being with others of the same intellectual preparation and commitment while enjoying the advantages of a university environment actively engaged in exploring all areas of human interest and concern.
All students who are admitted to Texas Tech and the Honors College also enroll in a disciplinary college and pursue one or more of the 150+ available majors and concentrations, including one major housed within the Honors College, Honors Sciences & the Humanities. Their education is the result of the integration of all colleges at TTU, including the Honors College, and cultivates the talents and interests of Honors College students while meeting their changing needs as they develop academically and socially.
