Hudson Valley P-TECH

Rockland BOCES Hudson Valley Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) is a four to six year program (grades 9-14) focused on engaging students in hands-on, project-based learning to be successful in careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Students who successfully complete the program earn a high school diploma and an associate’s degree at no cost from Rockland Community College. Graduates are first in line for a job with industry partners in the growing STEM career fields.

Hudson Valley P-TECH Pathways include:
  • Business Administration (Associate of Applied Science degree)
  • Computer Information Systems (Associate of Science degree)
  • Computer Support Specialist (Associate of Applied Science degree)
  • Cyber Security (Associate of Applied Science degree)
  • Engineering Science (Associate of Science degree)
  • Legal Studies Through Technology (Associate of Applied Science degree)

Hudson Valley P-TECH is designed for students who want something different from their high school career. Students of all academic achievement levels are encouraged to apply. Special effort is made to recruit and support students who are considered academically and/or economically at-risk; populations that historically lack access or success in higher education.

Local businesses are encouraged to get involved to enable Hudson Valley P-TECH to prepare students for the workplace of today and tomorrow. The Business Partnership Program connects students with professionals in their pathway by providing students with work site visits, job shadowing, field experiences and more. Monthly Mentor Lounge events focus on topics to develop professional skills. Business partners also work collaboratively with teachers to design industry challenges in which students solve real-world challenges facing the industry partner.
