How will Career Pathways affect regular students?
MS Career Pathways will raise the level of student expectation in vocational courses in order to prepare students to be productive citizens and members of Mississippi’s workforce. Students will be challenged with rigorous, problem-based, and real-world scenarios that prepare them to work in occupations that are expected to experience growth in Mississippi in the future. All MS Career Pathway courses will include a strong academic component to help prepare students to keep up with the ever-changing demands on them as members of a vibrant and global workforce. Academic, dual credit, and articulation options will be researched and developed during the curriculum writing process to ease the transition to related programs in community colleges and universities.
