Every high school that is participating in the Qualified Admissions program has a list of its courses for the Qualified Admissions Curriculum. If you want to see a copy, ask you counselor. Please remember, you need only 14 credits in particular areas for Qualified Admissions. This still leaves you the opportunity to choose among the other courses your high school offers that are not part of the curriculum but may be very important to you.
