DID YOU KNOW

A high school student in Texas must demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English. Knowledge in a computer programming language is sufficient to fulfill this requirement.

At any Texas public university, computer science / programming courses may be used to fulfill the foreign language requirement for ANY degree.

Cybersecurity is now part of CTE and STEM education in Texas.
