Technical Curriculum

CIP-specific, state-required CTE Standards: 

• The required CTE standards for each CIP code can be found on MDE's CTE website under Instructional Resources by Career Cluster. Select your career area and find your CIP code listed. Follow the links to the Excel files with the Instructional Design & CIP Overview (or Gap Analysis if applicable). This file has also been copied into your program's CIP Self Review Shared Drive, C04 Curriculum folder.  

Integrated Academics

High school credits: 

• See the KCTC public website's "High School and College Credit" page to see the language on integrated Math, English, and Applied Art (VPAA) credit. The waived 2nd World Language/3rd Science credit options are tied to being a CTE program Completer. All high school credits are subject to local district policy. See Michigan Merit Curriculum section below for legislation on CTE credits.

Articulated College Credit

Articulation agreements allow students to earn free college credits for certain state-approved career and technical education (CTE) courses. Articulated credit requires attending the college within a set timeframe, earning a qualifying grade (such as a B or better), and submitting an application. The credit appears without a grade on the transcript, and it likely may not transfer to another institution. KCTC seniors receive paper applications from Student Support Services for the school/s they plan to attend, or follow a digital process. This College Credit Agreements spreadsheet summarizes all agreements and contains links to all agreements and their applications. 

Direct College Credit

Direct credit is graded on the college transcript and likely may transfer to another institution. Some KCTC courses offer free, direct college credit where students are dual-enrolled with the college/university. Also see Launch U Early Middle College.
