The Communication Studies Program offers Writing for the Media - COMM 2103 as a dual credit course. The Dual Credit Program at Stockton University provides a community service to college-bound high school students, giving them a jump-start on college by providing the opportunity to earn college credits and complete high school course requirements simultaneously.

The School of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SOBL) and the Sociology and Anthropology Program (Socy/Anth)  offers dual credit agreements between Stockton University and participating high schools. These dual credit agreements are constructed with the best interests of high school students in mind. They are designed to:

• articulate the standards for dual credit course quality,
• require a rigorous curriculum and high instructor qualifications, and
• ensure that the dual credit courses offered are equivalent to those offered on campus at Stockton University.

SOBL currently offers Understanding Inequality through the Dual Credit Program at Stockton University. This course provides a comparison of diverse roles, interests, opportunities, contributions, and experiences in social life. Topics include race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, class, and religion. Upon completion, students should be able to understand the dynamics of culture and analyze how cultural and ethnic differences evolve to affect personality development, values and society. 

This course is equivalent to either Introduction to Anthropology or Introduction to Sociology (depending on the instructor, and their desired emphasis). Stockton faculty are happy to assist instructors to design a course with the following student learning objectives:

1. Analyze identity using sociological and anthropological explanations.
2. Understand inequalities and stratification.
3. Explain the relationship between individuals and their culture.
4. Demonstrate ability to evaluate social and cultural diversity.

Due to the nature of the subject matter, the instructor is required to have an MA in Sociology, Anthropology or a closely related field. The Stockton faculty are happy to share materials and mentor instructors.

The Africana Studies Program offers Topics in African-American History and Culture - GAH 1360 as a dual credit course. The Dual Credit Program at Stockton University provides a community service to college-bound high school students, giving them a jump-start on college by providing the opportunity to earn college credits and complete high school course requirements simultaneously.

This course introduces students to African American history and culture by taking an africentric rather than eurocentric view of Blacks in the United States.

Topics include, but are not limited to, African history and culture, Africanisms in American culture, the enslavement experience, African-American war participation, Reconstruction, racial conflict, early protest movements, human, civil and women's rights, African-American elan and the achievements of selected African-American men and women.

Survey of Mathematics is a Stockton University course that is being offered in a dual-credit format for high school seniors who have taken Algebra II but who are not quite ready for a traditional Precalculus class. This 4-credit course fulfills a Quantitative Reasoning requirement at Stockton and may transfer to other universities, as long as the student earns a C or better.

The course curriculum covers various topics from the Math Accuplacer Exam that many students are required to take for placement at whatever college they choose. In addition to earning 4 credits, students should be much better prepared for the Math Accuplacer Exam after taking this course. This makes it less likely students will need to take non-credit, developmental mathematics courses in college and also gives them greater opportunities to pursue STEM track majors.

What is the SLCE Dual Credit Consortium?

Developed by the Stockton Office of Service-Learning in collaboration with the William T. Daly School of General Studies, the SL and CE Dual Credit Consortium has developed two courses to offer to local high schools as dual credit.  Dual credit means that high school students receive credit through their local high school and Stockton University awards credits for the completion of a Stockton-equivalent course.  For example, many local high schools offer a course like US Government or Civics, and at Stockton University, we offer GEN2248 -- Perspectives on Civic Engagement.  Through coordination with the Office of Service-Learning and the high school faculty, these courses align in their teaching and learning objectives.  The William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton University is committed to civic education and is also a co-sponsor of the SLCE Consortium.  The Hughes Center will provide material support and resources.

What courses will be offered through the Consortium for the 2019-2020 year?

Two courses will be offered through this consortium for the 2019-2020 year. 

 GEN2248--Perspectives on Civic Engagement is appropriate for any course that is civics or US government focused.  The strand of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Social Studies is “Civics, Government, and Human Rights” focused on the essential questions:  How do citizens, civic ideals, and government institutions interact to balance the needs of individuals and the common good?  How have economic, political, and cultural decisions promoted or prevented the growth of personal freedom, individual responsibility, equality, and respect for human dignity? 

GEN2850 -- Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement is a course focused on the faculty leaders of civic organizations and clubs on the high school campuses, such as Interact, Key Club, National Honor Society, Amnesty International and Model UN.  Essentially, any club or organization that has a service component has students eligible for this course.  The Stockton Office of Service-Learning will help in coordinating community focused projects with these clubs and provide Bonner Leaders, who are Stockton students paid as campus/community leaders, to support the students and the high school faculty member. It is also a four-credit course at Stockton.  All the students who enroll in the Stockton course will be provided a Z number, become an official Stockton student, and be enrolled in a Blackboard course that is managed by the Office of Service-Learning.  This is primarily where the learning happens, as they plan and reflect around their community service project.  The high school faculty will be invited to engage in this learning as well and will be provided with materials and professional development that enriches the service-learning experience.

Stockton University offers a dual credit course in Holocaust and Genocide Studies for high schools. This entails supervision by a Stockton faculty member, as well as a few common assessments. The program has been in existence for several years and continues to grow.

With the Dual Credit program, the high school program, course, and students will receive guidance and supervision from a Stockton University faculty member with specialization in Holocaust and Genocide Studies.  The teacher will be afforded many professional development opportunities from Stockton and the Holocaust Resource Center, as well as mentoring from our staff member. The students will have guest lecturers (both in school and on the Stockton campus), the opportunity to engage in field trips, performances, and other related activities.

If there is a Holocaust course already in place, it can be reviewed and amended. If the school is thinking about instituting a new course, our staff will be eager to advise and help in its creation. In any event, we look forward to working with you and your students in the near future!
