Electives: Courses and Majors

Electives are organized by majors. Tips to keep in mind: 1. Students can choose from a certain number of

• electives. A few count towards graduation

requirements (PE, health, computer science). Others are based on interest (art, agricultural, engineering) 2. College major is different than high school major. They do not have to match! 3. You can choose a major to try something new in high school OR take a major to help prepare for a career.

Automotive Tech ITT Technical Institute or York Tech Automotive Tech USC to major in Business Management 4.

The choice of a major does not impact graduation. SC Diploma requirements are standardized.
