Business and Industry

Business and Industry Endorsement is a curriculum path that allows students to focus on courses related to the business field. These pathways provide multiple ways to earn a Business and Industry endorsement.

Hays CISD students must earn the required 26 credits for graduation which includes a sequence or 4 credits from a chosen program of study to meet the endorsement requirement. An endorsement requires a coherent sequence of courses for four or more credits that consists of at least two courses in the same career cluster and at least one advanced CTE course.
