Four Year High School Course Plan for the Dearborn Center for Mathematics, Science, and Technology

The Michigan Merit Curriculum (MMC) requires that students complete 4 credits of English, 3 credits each of Social Studies, Science and Mathematics (including Geometry and 1 semester in the senior year). Additionally, students must complete 1 credit each of physical education/health and the Arts, as well as 2 credits of a foreign language. Students must complete 12 credits of approved STEM courses in order to successfully complete the DCMST Program. The details of the MMC can be found on the district website.

*denotes required course Appropriate Dual Enrollment Courses for DCMST Students

DCMST policy requires that students successfully complete 12 credits of approved math, science, technology and computer science courses. Dual enrollment classes must meet standards of rigor and must not be offered elsewhere in DPS. Students are responsible for any pretest or prerequisite that may be required. With the constraints in scheduling, we look at each student individually to find the best schedule. Other courses may be considered, depending on the interests and the needs of individual students.
