APS has developed the following four academic and career pathways:

• Arts and Communication
• Business
• Health Sciences
• Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM)

All students will have the opportunity to participate in these academic and career pathways based on goals within their Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP). If a student does not wish to pursue a pathway, based on goals within their ICAP he or she may select a Liberal Arts Pathway that prepares students for post-secondary opportunities and the workforce.

All students will have access to multiple experiences supporting their journey in discovering what academic and career pathway is best suited for them.

Quick Facts

• Studies show that students with coursework related to career goals tend to have higher educational aspirations and higher self-esteem.
• On average, students that set career goals are more satisfied with their education than students who are indecisive about their future careers.
