Section 135-28-4 - Goals for West Virginia EDGE

4.1. The Goals of the EDGE program include:

4.1.a. Creating incentives for more students to continue education beyond high school by providing all students with information about, and access to, courses that will prepare them to meet college-level standards;

4.1.b. Expanding successful concurrent enrollment programs that include all students, not just those who are designated as college bound, with the goal of preparing all students for both work and postsecondary education with the same rigorous curriculum;

4.1.c. Aligning junior and senior year secondary courses with CTC certificate and associate degree programs which will provide access to early entrance college courses which offer all students the opportunity to establish a college transcript while in high school;

4.1.d. Increasing the number of students attending public CTCs by participating in a collaborative partnership between the public schools and the state community and technical colleges; and

4.1.e. Establishing programs of study pathways in combination with early entrance college courses which together allow a student potentially to obtain an associate degree one year after high school graduation or receive an associate degree along with the high school diploma.
