Foreward PURPOSE . . . The purpose of the Curriculum Guide is to provide information important for choosing an appropriate learning pathway and selecting courses needed to achieve educational and career goals. DESCRIPTION . . . The Curriculum Guide is in two parts. The first part, the Introduction, includes general information about graduation requirements, selecting a learning pathway, "building" a schedule of classes, as well as additional important information. The second part, beginning on page 1, lists the various courses offered by department. USING THE GUIDE . . . Please take a few minutes to "leaf through" the guide to get an idea of the contents and layout. After you have looked through the guide, follow the outline below to help you prepare for registration. 1. Turn to page i and read about "Preparing a Four-Year Instructional Program." In order to plan your program, it is necessary to understand the "learning pathways" and the placement process. 2. See pages ii and iii for a description of each pathway. As you read about what is expected, seriously consider (a) which pathway will best help you fulfill your goals, and (b) whether you can meet the requirements for entrance to the pathway and courses as well as the demands for keeping up with the work. Selecting a pathway should not be a status or social decision. 3. See page iv on "Choosing Electives." Select the "elective" course(s) which will help you toward your personal and career goals. Do not choose electives as "filler" courses. Read about the electives offered in each department. 4. See page iv on "Building a Class Schedule." With the help of your parents, advisor, and counselor choose your courses for next year. Your next step is registration. 5. Students will complete the registration forms during their advisory period. Your careful attention and advance planning will pay off in making sound decisions rather than last minute choices.
