What is a CAP (Career and Academic Pathway)?
A CAP is a Career and Academic Pathway or 鈥減athway鈥 - a group of similar degree and certificate programs. Each CAP is designed to help you as a student select a major or career direction and speed your progress toward completing your degree or certificate. For each CAP, you can explore several program maps that show a semester-by-semester path for each program from entry to completion.
