Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks 

The Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks articulate statewide learning standards for major elementary and secondary academic areas. The purpose of the frameworks is to assist districts and schools in developing standards-based curricula that guide teaching and learning. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education bases the statewide student assessment program on these frameworks.

Through college-level AP courses, a student may study coursework that might otherwise remain unexplored in high school; through AP Exams, students have an opportunity to earn credit or advanced standing at most of the nation's colleges and universities. Thirty-seven courses and exams are offered across 22 subject areas. 

 

The Commonwealth's system of public higher education includes 29 campuses divided into three segments: 15 community colleges, nine state colleges, and the five university campuses. Public higher education in Massachusetts serves approximately 260,000 students annually and in 2006 alone awarded more than 30,000 degrees and certificates.

 

The admissions standards for the state colleges and the University of Massachusetts emphasize strong academic preparation while in high school. These standards represent minimum requirements; meeting them does not guarantee admission, since college officials consider a wide range of factors in admissions decisions.
