Spanish term or phrase: asignatura co-programática
Hola!
Estoy traduciendo un CV :-(
Me aparece (fuera de contexto) la expresión "asignatura co-programática".

Aporto un poquitito:las materias específicas de una carrera se llaman "programáticas" y existen las "extra programáticas", es decir que son tangenciales a la carrera y, muchas veces, optativas.

Sin embargo en este título (colegio secundario) aparece Computación como co-programática.

Alguna llavecita para "abrir esta puerta"?

Gracias anticipadas, aurora

The term \"co-curricular\" occurs but only (or mainly) in collocation with the word \"activities\". Hence \"co-curricular activities\". Here are a few citations:-

Co-Curricular Activities Branch - promotes extracurricular activities in schools.
http://socrates.moe.edu.sg/ecac/

Speech and Debate - co-curricular, intercollegiate activity which provides students with intensive training in oral and written expression.
http://debateteam.ucdavis.edu/

Bedok South Secondary School - includes facilities, co-curricular activities, projects, and a section for students.

Whitehorse Middle School - in addition to academic course work and unified arts, students also have a lot of possibilities for co-curricular activities.

elective credits


Explanation:
"asignatura" strongly implies classroom subject matter. "Co-programática" implies 'in accordance with', 'jointly with' or 'parallel to' the chosen progam or curriculum. "Elective credits" is neutral and means something in America (even though this is a High School reference). Pinpoint decoding of out-of-context educational euphemisms requires answers to two basic questions: When? and Where?
