36...Planning for the Future

The Program of Study represents the cornerstone of Leander ISD’s Career Development System. An important goal of the Program of Study is for our graduates to be set

apart from other students from across the state. The Program of Study is the vehicle through which this is accomplished.

A Program of Study certificate is awarded upon graduation. More than 50 Programs of Study are currently available in the four Academies and are correlated to the federally

supported Career Clusters. Courses chosen during high school become the foundation for the future; therefore, careful selection of courses will form a Program of Study to a chosen

post-secondary educational goal. See list below for a complete listing of the Programs of Study.

How to use the Program of Study:

Courses that are part of the Program of Study system were selected based on data collected from business and industry regarding skills needed to gain employment.

1) Select a Program of Study based on the career field in which you are interested. Note that the Program of Study section of this course catalog provides an outline of available

certifications, college credit, corresponding extracurricular student-leadership opportunities, post-secondary majors, and careers.

2) The number of credits needed to earn a Program of Study certificate refers to credits earned by passing identified courses; this number varies by Program of Study.

3) Credit must be earned in any prerequisite courses listed, if any, for a Program of Study certificate.

4) Credit must be earned in any required courses listed.

5) Supplemental courses to enhance learning should be considered if there is room remaining in your schedule.
