A Career Pathway consists of 3.0 credits that help a student acquire a balanced skill set in a certain area of interest. One or two of the credits are Foundation Courses and are required. The remainder are electives allowing students to choose which classes suit their needs best. Some of these classes are Concurrent Enrollment or Distance Ed classes -- so both High School and College credit will be earned.
