Selecting Your Courses
Part 2
The following subjects and classes are standard fare for success
in high school and beyond, whether you plan to attend a four-year or two-year College.
English (Language Arts)
Take English every year. Traditional courses, such as
American and English literature, help you improve your writing skills, reading
comprehension and vocabulary.
Math
You need algebra and geometry to succeed on college entrance
exams and in college math classes – and in many careers. Take them early on.
That way, you’ll be able to enroll in advanced science and math in high school,
and show college you’re ready for higher – level work. Most colleges
look for students who have taken three years of math in high school. The more
competitive ones require or recommend four years. Each school has its own
program, but some of the courses typically offered are:
·
Algebra I
·
