MAPPING A 4-YEAR PLAN
MAPPING A 4-YEAR PLAN
Students are encouraged to outline and plan a course of studies that is academically stimulating, personally enriching, and prepares them for higher education. Graduation requirements will provide a solid foundation, but students should look to go above and beyond the general requirements while taking appropriately rigorous coursework (i.e., the most challenging the student can handle without creating an undue burden). Students are advised to track their progress toward meeting graduation requirements and plan ahead by outlining a four-year course plan for college and career readiness.
