The class, called Florida Advanced Course and Test (FACT): U.S. History, will allow students to earn college credit for Florida public universities. The pilot program will start in the 2026-2027 school year and will be fully implemented in the 2027-2028 school year. The class is based on current K-12 standards and is modeled on two introductory college-level courses. Students who pass the exam will receive college credit and complete their postsecondary civic literacy requirement. The program is part of a 2023 law authorizing the Department of Education to add advanced courses in collaboration with the State University System and the Florida College System.
