The majority of four-year colleges and universities in the United States require at least the following high school courses for admission:
Four years of English
Three years of Social Studies
Three years of Mathematics, including Algebra 1 or Algebra 1A and 1B, Algebra 2, and Geometry or Trigonometry
Three years of Laboratory Science (all science courses offered at MSHS are considered "laboratory science")
Two years of world language - Many four-year colleges and universities require successful completion of at least the second level of world language
College admission requirements may change and all programs within a university may not have the same admission standards (required high school courses, class rank, ACT or SAT). The ACT or SAT is required or recommended by most four-year colleges and universities in Illinois and for Parkland College Health Career programs. See your counselor if you have any questions concerning college admission requirements.
