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, transitional
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 colleges 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:
