What History courses should I take to prepare for college?
Certain types of history courses are simply required, and the student doesn't really have to think much because they'll just be assigned history classes in high school. Generally, the field of study is world history and American history, with government and economics now in the picture as well. Certain high schools have contemporary issue courses, like socialist issue courses. The more challenging your courses are in high school, the more competitive an edge you will have when applying to college.
