Does your student dream of making a difference in their community by becoming a teacher, coach, librarian, or counselor? Then MAC UP is the magnet program for you! North East ISD is now offering a limited admission opportunity to current 9th and 8th-grade students.
MacArthur University Prep (MAC UP) is a magnet program that offers dual enrollment at MacArthur High School and UTSA, providing a university track program with a major in Education. Initial coursework during freshman and sophomore years at MacArthur High School provides students with a strong educational foundation for instruction as well as preparation for the required Texas Success Initiative (TSI) test.
During their junior and senior years, students will begin taking education and core courses at UTSA for a total of 24 UTSA credit hours. With a one-time UTSA application fee and reduced tuition costs, the MAC UP program offers families a discount of over $12,000.00 for the first 24 credit hours! MAC UP students will not have to complete an additional UTSA admission application after NEISD graduation.
If you would like to learn more about this exciting opportunity, please attend our MAC UP informational meeting on Monday, May 13 at 7:00 p.m. in the MacArthur High School Library.
Due to popular demand, a limited admission window for current 9th-grade students and an extended admission window for current 8th-grade students is being offered. Additionally, UTSA has announced that MAC UP students will not have to complete an additional UTSA admission application after graduation.
