CONCENTRATOR COURSES
The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) requires a Career and Technical Education (CTE) concentrator to complete at least two courses in a single career and technical education program. The Office of Career and Technical Education (OCTE) defines a concentrator as a secondary student with an assigned Classification of Instruction Programs (CIP) code who has completed at least two courses in a state-recognized CTE Program.
The courses are listed in the following table are categorized by cluster, CIP code, program name, course code, and course options. Additional courses not included in this listing can be taken to count toward completer status requirements, if needed.
Note: All programs require the completion of at least two identified courses in a state-recognized CTE program with the exception of Barber/Master Hair Care and Cosmetology which require three courses. If the courses are not sequential, it does not matter what order they are taken in.
