Career concentrations are opportunities for students to design an educational program consisting of a coherent progression of courses aligned to their college or post-secondary career interests. Students may enroll in one career concentration, multiple, or none at all.  All career concentrations will provide students with rich educational experiences that will prepare them for careers of the 21st century.
