FIRST PRIORITY : High school requirements …
Take English
and
Math
first…
Do not avoid Math!
Research pre-requisites for intended major ….
Majors have specific courses …
GPA does matter …
Myth: “My Running Start credits don’t really count as REAL college. I’m still in high school, right?” “If I fail some classes, I can always start over at REAL college. . . right?”
Fact:
College credits
NEVER
expire.
They are a permanent record of your academic studies . Slide15
Online/Hybrid Classes
“Online classes are easier than coming to class.”
“I can turn things in whenever I want in an online class…”
“Yay! I don’t have to interact with my classmates anymore…
it’s an online class.”
Common MythsSlide16

Words of Wisdom for Science Students
Take math
and science every quarter, if possible.
Almost all science majors need to start the
chemistry
sequence as soon as possible.
Do not split
science sequences. If you start a sequence here at BC, complete it here.
Completing a degree here at BC is
not
as important as meeting high school requirements and prerequisites for your major.
