Selecting your courses

Part 4

Social studies

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

. U.S. history (two semesters)

. U.S. government (one semester)

. World history or geography (one semester)

One additional semester in the above or other areas

Foreign languages

Solid foreign languages study shows colleges you’re willing to stretch beyond the basic. 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 language, and having conversations with others speaking the same language is the best way to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.
