College in the Schools (CIS) is a National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) accredited concurrent enrollment program serving high school students, teachers, and schools by increasing access to college learning, supporting rigor and excellence in teaching, and strengthening high school-University connections. CIS benefits students, teachers, and schools and may capture more majors for our Departmental programs. Students benefit by earning transferable college credit without leaving their high school campus and by developing college-level skills in critical thinking and writing via University based curriculum and University-level discourse. High school teachers benefit by accessing current research and methodology in professional development workshops led by College faculty and by developing professional relationships and sharing ideas and techniques with the CIS faculty coordinators. High schools and their districts benefit by increasing public awareness of the school's high standards and outstanding offerings and by securing high-quality, sustainable professional development for their CIS instructors. The University and the Department benefit by fostering a strong local network among secondary and postsecondary educators that result in a seamless transition for students as they move from high school to college. Discussion about CIS and the experience of organizing and launching CIS courses in Agronomy and Animal Science at the University of Minnesota will be shared.
