Check with your school district. Sometimes, different schools within your district may be able to offer choices more suited to your student. If they are not available in your district, Applied Academics courses are offered by Distance Education and Open School. Applies Academics courses satisfy secondary school graduation requirements and teach workplace skills. They are also accepted for entrance into many post-secondary programs.
Some colleges require placement tests.
Some Applied Academics courses may not be acceptable pre-requisites for some courses. At present, some Universities require Applied Academics students to complete a 2-year transfer program at a College before applying to transfer to University. This tends to be a less expensive alternative in a smaller community environment, and is a popular choice for many University-bound students, not just those with Applied Academics backgrounds.
