ACC Posts Record Number of Dual Degree Grads

During an Alvin Community College Commencement ceremony on May 18,  another record number of Alvin, Manvel, Shadow Creek and Turner high school students walked across the stage just weeks ahead of getting their high school diplomas.

This year also featured the first graduates from Danbury and Living Stone high schools: Joaqin Phillips and Kaysie Perkins, respectively.

“We are very proud of the growing number of Dual Degree graduates,” ACC President Dr. Christal M. Albrecht said. “These young men and women are highly intelligent, driven, and motivated individuals who now have a jump-start on their education and have substantially reduced the costs associated with a degree.”

ACC had 160 students complete 60 hours of college coursework through participation in the Alvin Community College Dual Credit-Dual Degree program and complete their Associate Degree in General Studies.  Twenty-four students also received certificates from the Welding and Pharmacy programs.

Most Dual Degree graduate students begin their journey as freshmen, taking classes on their high school campus and any additional courses needed at ACC or online. Advisors say it takes a lot of work and the students have to stay on task.

“Each year our Dual Degree graduates continue to grow. It is a true testament to the ambition, drive, and fortitude of the students and the ACC program, faculty and staff,” said Akilah Martin, ACC Director  of College and Career Pathway.

Students seeking the associates degree have increased dramatically since ACC's first dual degree grad, Thomas Schuenemann, in 2008. Since the first graduate, the ACC Dual Credit program has had 657 students participate in commencement. There are now approximately 1,900 students enrolled in the dual credit program at eight area high schools.
