The following list of courses and their descriptions are provided to aid the student in selecting an appropriate science curriculum. The curriculum must satisfy two purposes:
Satisfaction of graduation requirements
Provide the student with the opportunity to achieve a science background that will insure success in future career endeavors
Students must earn three credits of science in order to meet graduation requirements. For all students, one of the credit(s) must be earned through completion of Biology or Honors Biology. The other credits may be earned by taking any other science elective course.
Students who are anticipating a career involving science concepts are encouraged to select a sequential three- or four-year program that will insure an opportunity to pursue that career. Advanced courses in biology, chemistry, and other fields are available, and require the student to carefully schedule his/her science courses. In many instances, this will involve the development of priorities or scheduling two elective courses in the same year. It’s suggested that you seek assistance from your school counselor in selecting your science curriculum.
