High School Articulated Credit
BRTC has developed articulation agreements for students from northeast Arkansas high schools in various areas of occupational education. High school students who are enrolled in articulated course(s) can earn college credit and begin working toward the completion of a technical certificate or AAS degree from BRTC. High school students should visit with their high school counselor regarding the availability of these offerings and to complete the recommendation form.
