Academic or Career & Technical: What's the Difference?

Academic Fields of Study curricula are designed to satisfy the lower division requirements for a bachelor's degree in a specific area at four-year colleges in the state of Texas.  (i.e. Accounting, Fine Arts, Kinesiology, Social Science, etc.)  

Career & Technical Programs are designed to prepare students for occupational employment focusing on technical skills for specific career areas.  Transfer options may exist at some four-year colleges through the Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) degree. (i.e. Cosmetology, Vocational Nursing, Associate Degree Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Computer Information Systems, Petroleum, Welding, etc.)
