Career Clusters
Each student needs to choose a Career Cluster and a major from that cluster. Career Clusters are broad categories of career areas under which many jobs are classified. Majors are the more definite areas within the clusters under which specific jobs are listed. Though you should choose your Career Cluster carefully, it is not an irrevocable commitment—you may your change cluster if you wish. To help you make this decision, please take a few minutes to read through the available career clusters and their accompanying majors in our Program of Studies.
