Each cluster has one or more associated career pathways. Students typically choose one career pathway, which includes core classes common to the cluster, and courses specific to the pathway. School years in each program are described as levels. Typically, 100 level as a sophomore, 200 level as a junior, and 300 level as a senior. Many programs offer scholarships or college credits after completing the 300 level.
