  3. Network+ How networks actually move traffic
  4. Security+ The security core employers ask for

Pathways

Three pathways, aligned in all 50 states

MICE maintains aligned program standards and competencies for CTE programs in each of these pathways, in every state — plus Career Ready Practices and industry certification alignment. You should not have to rebuild your crosswalk because you crossed a state line.

Pathway 01

IT & Cybersecurity

Support, networking, security, and programming — from a student’s first login through to an analyst’s toolkit. A genuine prerequisite ladder, shown above.

Aligns to CompTIA and Cisco certifications

Pathway 02

Media Design

Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, taught as the working tools of digital and multimedia design rather than as a tour of menus — and toward a certification, not just a portfolio.

Aligns to Adobe industry certifications

Pathway 03

Business Administration

Office Pro, then Word and Excel at Expert level — the documents and spreadsheets every employer assumes a graduate can already produce.

Aligns to Microsoft Office Specialist

Certification exams and vouchers are not included with any option.
