Selecting your course

Part 2

English (language arts)

High school and beyond, whether you plan to attend a four year or two year college. 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 a college entrance exam and in college math classes – and in many careers. Take them early on. That way, you will be able to enroll in advance science and math in high school, and show colleges you are 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 1

Algebra 2

Geometry

Trigonometry

Calculus
