The Program of Study (POS) provides students with a planned, sequential program that blends academic, technical, and workplace skills to prepare for college
or a career. The POS contains a minimum of four credits and includes relevant courses and a capstone experience such as an internship or a college course.
Many POS may lead to the attainment of industry/professional certification (e.g., through formal assessments or course hours). POS are designed
collaboratively with colleges, including Montgomery College, and some programs and courses have articulation agreements. An articulation agreement
establishes the process for students to earn college credit for courses completed in high school. If there are articulation agreements associated with a POS, an
