a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need; "he proposed an elaborate program of public works"; "working mothers rely on the day care program”

course of study: an integrated course of academic studies; "he was admitted to a new program at the university"

A program or programme (in management) has at least two senses: 1) A collection of projects that are directed toward a common goal, e.g., the NASA space program; 2) A broad framework of goals to be achieved, serving as a basis to define and plan specific projects, e.g. the EU's SAPARD Programme. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_(management)

Generally defined as an organized set of activities directed toward a common purpose or goal, undertaken or proposed by an agency in order to carry out its responsibilities. In practice, however, the term program has many uses and is used to describe an agency's mission, programs, functions, activities, services, projects, and processes.
