ADVANCED CURRICULUM - (varies by state) 

These courses are what colleges want to see!  

Ask your school counselor about these courses? 

 

  • Honors Courses 

  • Advanced Placement (AP) courses 

  • International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program 

  • Dual Enrollment and Early Admission 

  • Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) 

  • College Level Examination Program (CLEP) 

  • Advance courses online 

  • If your school doesn’t offer AP/IB/AICE courses. High Schools typically send out school profiles to the admission offices with your transcript. In the profile section, it will state if advanced courses are offered at your school. You should not be penalized if your high school does not offer advanced courses. Ask your school counselor about taking classes at a local college. Some students may even do a self-study and just take the exam directly. Just make sure you take the most rigorous course load that is made available to you at your high school.
