WHAT is Programs of Study?
Perkins IV Programs of Study
The primary purpose of Programs of Study is to provide successful student
transitions between secondary and postsecondary education. The Carl D.
Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 called upon
states and local education agencies to create secondary-to-postsecondary
sequences of academic and career education coursework that lead students to
attain a postsecondary degree or industry-recognized certificate or credential.
At a minimum, Programs of Study must:
 incorporate and align secondary and postsecondary education elements;
 include academic and CTE content in a coordinated, non-duplicative
progression of courses; offer the opportunity, where appropriate, for
secondary students to acquire postsecondary credits; and
 lead to an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the postsecondary
level, or an associate or baccalaureate degree.
