College Credit     

 Higher Education through Cooperative Alliances  

Our Cooperative Alliance Agreements allow high school and adult students to receive college credit for courses taken each semester at PTC. This credit may be applied toward an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree at Murray State College in Tishomingo (this is a two-year degree plan intended for direct workforce placement). While there will be $8 per credit hour fee for these courses, students will pay no tuition for these credit hours.

Why enroll in an Alliance course?

• Save $ on tuition and on college related expenses.
• Avoid course duplication from PTC to college.
• Shorten the time needed to earn for approved technology center courses.
• Earn college credit each semester for approved technology center courses.
• Transition easily from high school to college to career.

How does a student enroll?

• Enroll in an PTC Career Major with and alliance agreement
• Complete an alliance enrollment form at the beginning of each semester you are at PTC
• Present an ACT score of 19, or ACT PLAN score of 15, or high school GPA of 2.5 or better (high school students only)
• Provide a statement of understanding from a parent or guardian (high school students only)
• Pay $8 per credit hour directly to Murray State College (high school students may apply for a fee waiver through their high school counselors)
