Selecting your Courses

Part 4

Social studies

 You can better understand local and world events that are happening now by studying the culture and the history that has shaped them. Here is a suggested course plan:

·       U.S. History (two semesters)

·       U.S. Government (one semester)

·       World history and geography (one semester)

·       One additional semester in the above or other areas

Foreign language

Solid foreign language study shows colleges you’re willing to stretch beyond the basics. Many colleges require at least two years of study in the same foreign language, and some prefer more.

Learning a foreign language can be a challenge but is exciting. Repetition is the key to learning a language, and having conversations with others speaking the same language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.
