Question
Ok so I'm going to be a junior in high school this fall and i was wondering what i should do to become ready for my college courses. what i want to know is what classes should i take. I've already taken biology for my science, this year I'm taking pre-AP chemistry. but i want to know what else i should take for years to come. i plan on going to University of Arkansas in Fayetteville when i graduate high school and i was also wondering if you knew anything about their courses or anything that could be useful.

                   thanks so much for reading this question!

Answer
Hi Sarah,

I assume that you want to go into Archaeology and want to know what else you need to take in high school.  Take as much science and math as you can, languages, creative writing, English, history etc... Why the sciences?  They will help you get into college along with the math.  The languages will help you as you begin to study other cultures in college and writing is a critical skill to have in Archaeology. U of Ark is a good school with a good program.

I hope this helps.
