Course Planning
Speak with your child's high school counselor to make sure your child is taking the courses needed to prepare for college. Keep in mind, some college majors have additional course requirements, and different colleges have different standard requirements. The Illinois Board of Higher Education recommends that college-bound children take at least the following high school courses:
  • Four years of English
  • Three years of mathematics, including algebra and geometry
  • Three years of laboratory science, including biology and chemistry
  • Three years of social studies, including history and government
  • Two years of electives, chosen from foreign language, music, visual arts, theater, dance and vocational education.
