College and Career Readiness

The Mississippi College and Career Readiness course (CCR) was developed to support the vision and mission of the Mississippi Department of Education that all students graduate from high school prepared for college, career, and active citizenship. The CCR course curriculum outlines the knowledge secondary students should obtain and the types of skills relevant for a successful transition to postsecondary and the workforce.

  1. Is there a CTE MSIS course code for the CCR course? No, only academic course codes are available.
  2. My district would like to participate as a pilot for 2020-2021, is there an application? Any high school may implement the CCR course in 2020-2021.  There is no pilot application.  Interested districts are encouraged to send the selected teacher, a counselor, and an administrator to the training.
  3. Is there a separate teacher endorsement for the CCR class? Any teacher with a valid 7-12 license may teach the CCR course.
  4. When is this class required for graduation? The CCR class is required for the graduating class of 2022.
  5. Will a student from the cohort class of 2018-2019 be required to take the CCR course for graduation if they are an early graduate in 2020-2021? No, 2018-2019 cohort students will not be required to take the CCR class if graduating in the 2020-2021 school year. The required CCR Carnegie unit may be replaced with an elective Carnegie unit in order to meet the required Carnegie 24 units of the Traditional diploma.
