Design, 沙巴体育官网 and Apply for a Program of Study

The design of a Program of Study (POS) is?not a 1-time activity; once approved it remains a living document and must be maintained and updated to be in alignment with industry standards and practices. Each Program of Study must be renewed every 4th year to assure it is still in alignment with State and Federal Guidelines for a Program of Study.
