To be eligible for admission to many in-state four-year universities or colleges, students must complete the following college-preparatory courses, or vocation, integrated, or college course equivalents before enrolling:

1.	English	4 years
2.	Mathematics	3 years minimum (Algebra and above)
3.	Social Studies	3 years
4.	Science	2 years minimum (Biology, Chemistry, or Physics)
5.	World Language	2 years minimum
6.	Fine/Visual/Performing Arts	1 year minimum

Students are encouraged to pursue additional course work beyond these minimums in order to be a more competitive applicant, and to be better prepared for college level course work. College admission counselors also recommend that students take a challenging load during their senior year if they want to be considered as a serious candidate. This is only a guideline. Please see your counselor or specific university for specific requirements.
