PTS Programs of Study

 

Programs of Study (within Individual Graduation Plans [IGP])

 

 

The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV) calls for states to offer career and technical programs of study, which may be adopted by local educational agencies and postsecondary institutions as an option to students (and their parents as appropriate) when planning for and completing future coursework. To help states and local agencies meet this requirement, the Division of Academic and Technical Education, in collaboration with major national associations, organizations, and states, have developed a Programs of Study Design Framework (Framework).
