Program Overview
Premier Pathway is a district-wide initiative in partnership with Tarleton State University that allows high school students to earn up to 45 college credit hours through the Tarleton Today dual credit program. Students who complete the full sequence will be considered “Core Complete” by the time they graduate, meaning they’ve fulfilled the foundational 42-credit core curriculum required by Texas public universities—plus 3 additional credits for enhanced college readiness.
