Utah CTE Pathway Prioritizer
Explore pathway overlap, concurrent enrollment, graduation-credit opportunities, and master-schedule decisions.
CTE Cluster → Pathway → Course Lookup
Select a current USBE career cluster and pathway to review eligible explorer, concentrator and completer courses. Supporting courses are excluded. Funding and CE are based on the 2026–2027 planning data.
| Course / Core Code | Level | CTE funding | Status | CE Options | CE Value Add($ per max credit available) | Graduation Requirement | Other eligible pathways |
|---|
Each $ represents one potential college credit from the highest-credit single CE alignment offered by any listed institution. Unknown credit values count as 3 for this indicator. CE alternatives are not combined; $ symbols are not dollar amounts or guaranteed revenue.
Upload master schedules from multiple schools or providers
Upload one or more PDF, CSV, or Excel master schedules from the home school, another LEA school, a technical center, or an online provider. The analyzer combines all available courses into one student-access planning scenario. Courses appearing in multiple schedules count only once toward pathway completion. For the most accurate pathway matching, upload schedules that include the 11-digit USBE course codes (course names are also supported). Files are processed locally in your browser.
Concurrent enrollment (CE) is a potential revenue value-add for eligible courses. No dollar amount is assumed or calculated.
Completion planning: a year-long course counts as two course-equivalent units; at least one Concentrator and one Completer are required. A half-credit CTE internship (one Completer unit) is assumed available for every pathway, whether or not it appears on the uploaded schedule.
Completion planning · pathway course map
Select a completable pathway to see one recommended course combination using the combined master schedules. Courses from the uploaded schedule with the most distinct matched courses are prioritized as the primary high school; other schedules supplement access. Year-long courses count as two course-equivalent units; a CTE internship is available as an assumed one-unit Completer option.
Courses to consider adding
Missing courses with CE or cross-pathway potential; completion impact is a screening estimate.
| Course | Why consider it | CE / crossover / graduation | Potential CE courses | All Crossover Pathways | Funding scenario | Priority |

The priority score is a relative planning rank, not a percentage, dollar amount, or official USBE rating. Higher numbers indicate stronger opportunities under the selected planning priority.
Definitions: B = course-level base value (45 for a Concentrator when none is offered in the pathway; otherwise 22 for a Concentrator; 32 for a Completer; 5 for an Explorer when none is offered; otherwise 0). C = highest potential CE credits from a single active alignment. P = number of distinct pathways where the course is a Concentrator or Completer. U = course-equivalent units (typically 1 for a semester or 2 for a year-long course). Scores are calculated for each eligible pathway and the highest score for each distinct course is shown.
Courses to review or consolidate
Shows scheduled Explorer-level courses in pathways offering more than three distinct Explorer courses. Review candidates only—not automatic removal recommendations. Consider student access, graduation credit, CE options, and required pathway sequences before making changes.

Pathways completable with the current master schedule
Lists every matched course offered by your school that contributes to each completable pathway. A pathway qualifies when the schedule offers at least two distinct eligible core codes, including a concentrator-level course, a completer-level course, and at least four course-equivalent units. A cluster capstone counts as a completer and one unit. This measures available course offerings, not student transcript completion.

School-specific pathway opportunities
This tab uses only courses matched from the uploaded master schedules as the school’s current offerings. Recommendations show missing courses to add, prioritizing the fewest additional courses needed for pathway completion, then concurrent enrollment (CE) opportunities. Upload and analyze schedules on the Master Schedule Analyzer tab first. The largest schedule is treated as the primary high school.
Highest-value additional courses to offer
Only courses absent from the uploaded schedules appear here. Priorities reflect speed to completion, CE availability, crossover and the primary high school’s existing courses.
| Course / level | Completion impact | CE options | Other pathways | Priority |

Closest new completer pathways
Ranked from courses actually available across uploaded schedules, showing how many new course offerings would make each additional pathway completable. The assumed internship contributes one Completer unit.

How the model works
The site uses the uploaded 32 USBE 2026–27 pathway charts, the USBE 2026–27 Excel course master list, and the uploaded active 2026 CE master list. It retains original course classifications, excludes supporting courses from pathway progress, and marks unresolved core-code matches. The pathway chart requirement is an explorer plus concentrator and at least 3.0 qualifying pathway credits; the displayed four-course candidate is not an official completion certification.
Course value: verified CE equivalents, shared-pathway count, graduation-credit screening, and level-specific completion utility. Credits from multiple college equivalents are shown individually and should not be summed unless USHE confirms they can all be awarded.
Schedule analysis: matches uploaded course codes first, then normalized names; checks explorer/concentrator access, identifies absent courses with overlap and CE opportunities, and flags low-demand or duplicate offerings for human review. It does not model teacher certifications, prerequisites, sections, bell schedules, student requests, WPU/ADM, or actual CE completions.
Illustrative funding: CE is flagged as a potential revenue value add, without assigning a dollar amount. No enrollment or earned credits are inferred from a scheduled section. Financial return cannot be calculated reliably from master-schedule data alone.
