College Entrance Requirements

Generally, college requirements are stated in terms of a four-year high school program. It is advisable for students to begin an early study of colleges to assure they have the required subjects for entrance to the college of their choice.  The school counselor aids the student in choosing suitable schools and determining the special requirements of the colleges within a university; for example, liberal arts, fine arts, engineering, and medicine may well have entirely different entrance requirements.
