2 Expand CTE Health Science opportunities to comprehensive high schools currently not offering such programs Enable secondary students to obtain college credits for high school courses. To provide school districts with a means to access standardized curricula to develop a Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences, General (CIP Code ) program of study (POS). Five CTE course curriculum have been developed by UMDNJ and Union County Vocational school. Existing curricula have been cross walked with Standard 9.4 and the Common Core Standards for Mathematics Enable school districts download and utilize in their classrooms. This year, they are developing Anatomy and Physiology I and II to add to the list.
