1 Career and Technical Education Programs of Study There have been major changes made to all of the Career and Technical Education Programs of Study. The Nevada Department of Education has created a Statewide CTE Course Catalog to provide uniformity of CTE classes throughout the state. This means that many of our CTE Programs have gone through major revisions. Some classes have changed names and others have been completely eliminated and replaced with new classes. The attached pages contain all of our new program offerings that went into effect for the school year. For the first year the prerequisites for the classes were very flexible to help accommodate the transition to the new programs. However, starting with the school year, the prerequisites shall be strictly enforced. courses will be open to all students, and Levels 2 4 will only be open to students working toward completion of the program and they must be taken in sequence.
