Glossary of Terms
Career Cluster - A broad set of related occupations used when organizing career information, instruction, and student opportunities. Career Clusters provide a way for schools to organize instruction and student experiences around sixteen broad categories that encompass virtually all occupations from entry through professional levels.

Four-year Course Plan - An idividualized course plan for the four years of high school related to the student's career major, this plan is a key component of the Career Program of Study.
