Programs The `Program` is a canonical learning unit describing the overall content of a program, completon requirements, and earned credentials. `Courses` may be associated with `Programs`. but completion requirements are managed in the Course Requisite OSID. ProgramOfferings A `ProgramOffering` is a canonical `Program` offered for a `Term`. `ProgramOffering` replicates some of the data managed in the `Program` in the case it is refined or tweaked.
