Hi Jan, I guess the title was written by a Polk State grad.

I would not take a degree from Polk State at face value. The school is one of a few in the Florida College system that substitutes for high school, a post graduate education for those who did not pay attention in K through 12. Most students are unable to put their thoughts on paper. For the school to back up the “Prof” is troubling.

Qualifying, high academic achieving high school students are offered the opportunity for dual enrollment, and may attend PSC associate level courses while still in grades 10-12, at no cost to themselves.
It is not a substitute for high school, and the program is extremely competitive.
But every single associate level course passed during dual enrollment gives those advanced students one less useless square/time/money filler, in their pursuit of a higher degree.

Having known many dual-enrolled students, both at PSC and HCC, I have to wonder why you would falsely claim they “did not pay attention in K through 12”.
