UC Curriculum Integration (UCCI)

As a part of UC's systemwide High School Articulation unit, the UCCI initiative enabled us to work with educators and administrators from across California to develop a suite of resources to better support California high schools with implementing courses that integrate academic study (A-G) with Career Technical Education (CTE) content and skills.

Launching UCCI’s new website

We are thrilled to announce yet another website launch! The new UCCI website (what you could call our “sister site”) launched at the end of January, 2019! We worked hard to make it easier for you to:

  • Preview (and get inspired by) 76 courses approved in all A-G subject areas that integrate academics with CTE
  • Learn how to add UCCI courses to your A-G course list
  • Access resources for writing your own CTE courses for A-G approval in any subject area
  • Download the comprehensive UCCI Toolkit that includes everything you need to lead your own training!

We hope you visit our site soon!
