Programs of Study (POS) are meticulously structured educational programs, providing students with a clear and coherent sequence of coursework aligned with two out of the following three criteria: high-wage, high-skill, and in-demand occupations, instilling a sense of reassurance about the clarity and coherence of the educational path.

In the context of Programs of Study:
- Participants are students who have taken one course in the sequence.
