New rule complicates classes for college credit: Some teachers may need more training for dual-credit courses

IRONDALE, Minn. -- Rebecca Young may need to go back to school if she wants to continue teaching algebra for college credit at Irondale High School.

Despite holding a master’s degree and having completed other graduate-level work, Young may not meet the Higher Learning Commission’s recently updated standards for a college instructor. The HLC accredits nearly 1,000 colleges and universities in 19 Midwestern states including 114 institutions in Minnesota.
