Programs of Study

Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth

Grand Rapids Community College, in partnership with the Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth, Community College Services Unit, welcomes you to Michigan's Postsecondary Program of Study.

With the passage of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, Michigan's community colleges have begun to pilot a process to develop and implement programs of study for its postsecondary programs.

What is a Program of Study? A program of study is a sequence of instruction (based on recommended standards and knowledge and skills) consisting of coursework, co-curricular activities, work-site learning, service learning and other learning experiences. This sequence of instruction provides preparation for a career.

Nine colleges and fifteen programs are working together in 2010 to develop program of study processes and resource documents. Within this website you will find resource documents and examples to assist in this development.
