WHAT TO KNOW

At the Institutes, teams of 6-8 participants collaborate on the design of one course that integrates academic subject content with demanding career technical education (CTE). Course developed at the Institutes and "a-g" approved by UC become part of the UCCI course list, which makes all UCCI courses available for any school in California to teach.
