The Connecticut State Department of Education awarded $80,000 to Milford Public Schools to expand dual credit offerings. This move is part of a $3.8 million statewide investment to enable more high school students to earn college credits prior to graduation through partnerships formed between high schools and public and private colleges and universities.

Milford Schools received $80,000 to:

  • Increasing the number of students enrolled in dual enrollment courses
  • Establish partnership with Southern Connecticut State University Art and Music Departments to develop Art and Music Therapy offerings to students at both high schools
  • Expand current partnerships with UConn and Housatonic Community College
  • Potentially offer courses in several fields including Popular Music and Diversity in American Society, Fundamentals/Ear Training I, Digital Media and Design and Art Courses, and EMT Training
