Programs of Study a Program of Study spans a minimum of two years at the high-school level and extends to postsecondary education; integrates Hawaii's academic standards, career and workplace skills, and specific business and industry validated standards; incorporates work-based learning where feasible and appropriate; prepares students for further education and/or employment, and occurs in career fields that require less than a four-year degree as a prerequisite for entry. Students completing a high school Program of Study would have mastered all specific Career Pathway core, cluster, and academic course standards. For some Programs of Study, students would also have mastered Concentration-level standards. Programs of Study at the community college level include all CTE-related degree and/or certificate programs.
