HB 25-1218

HB 25-1218, a Colorado bill that has been signed into law, allows high school students to take college-level science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses as part of a direct admission pathway program. These courses can now be included in the state's Concurrent Enrollment Programs Act, which means more high school students will have access to advanced STEM education directly from higher education institutions. This affects students who are interested in pursuing STEM degrees or credentials and aims to provide them with early college credits and better preparation for their future careers. Since it has been signed into law, this bill is now active and its provisions are being implemented.
