Miami-Dade County Public Schools' (M-DCPS) students entering 9th grade may choose from one of four state-approved options to earn a standard diploma. Additionally, there are two options for students with disabilities, which may be completed within the 24-credit program.
The graduation options are as follows: A four-year, 24-credit standard program; • A three-year, 18-credit college preparatory program; • A three-year, 18-credit career preparatory program; • An International Baccalaureate program; and • An Advanced International Certificate of Education program.
Three-Year, 18-Credit Career Preparatory Program This accelerated graduation program requires fewer credits and focuses more on academic courses. The three-year career preparatory program requires students to earn specific credits in a single vocational, career, or technical education program.
Students have access to various resources to help them make progress, including Degree Progress Reports, Degree Planner, Academic Advisors, and the school/colleges' Deans' Offices. To receive a bachelor's degree from the University, students must earn a minimum of 120 credit hours.
