Programs of Study

Texas Education Agency describes a program of study as a coordinated, non-duplicative sequence of academic and technical content at the secondary and postsecondary level that:

• Incorporates challenging state academic standards
• Addresses academic, technical, and employability skills
• Aligns with the needs of industries in the state, regional, and/or local economy
• Progresses in specificity, beginning with all aspects of industry and leading to more occupation specific instruction
• Has multiple entry and exit points that incorporate credentialing
• Culminates in the attainment of a recognized postsecondary credential
