DESCRIPTIONS Program of Study: An approved plan of sequential course work that includes two to four years of secondary course work and a minimum of two years of postsecondary course work in the student’s program of choice. The plan should include course work articulated between the secondary schools and postsecondary institution(s) and may also include other courses that relate to the student’s career interests and needs. This plan should specify the numbers and titles of courses a student should successfully complete to be granted a postsecondary two-year associate degree, a 90-quarter-hour diploma, or a diploma that is part of a cooperative degree program. This credential may provide the foundation for a four-year degree. The Program of Study is to be signed by the student, the parent, and the school counselor. |
