Answer
Hello Ethna,
I am not clear where you you want to attend college.  In the US most of the universities require that you take college level prep courses during your secondary education.  You  would do well to take science (in particular Earth Science)and math. Most colleges require it.  I suggest that you contact the school that you are interested in attending and find out their requirements.  Each college is a little different.  Here is a web site to help you get started:
