What are the recommended amount of classes needed or need to be taken for getting in a decently good tech college/university #Fall24?

As a high school student, I haven't researched anything about tech unis or colleges, and I think I know that each school is subjective towards the recommended classes taken for their entry, but I want to know an overall of the classes I need to take in order to enter into at least a decent tech college.

Deeshani’s Answer

To get into a decent tech college, it’s important to complete foundational classes in high school. Focus on math, including Algebra II and ideally Precalculus or Calculus, along with Physics and Chemistry for science. English and strong reading and writing skills will be important as well. If available, taking computer science or programming courses can also make a big difference. Some colleges may require a second language, but it’s more of a general requirement. Admissions often also consider extracurriculars that show your interest in technology or leadership. Each school will have its own specifics, so checking their requirements is key.

Robin’s Answer

Focus on making good grades in all of your classes. Take your core classes and some electives in which you're interested in and excel in those. Once you have a good GPA you can apply to any college or university in which you're interested in attending and once you're accepted you can choose with technology degree you would like to pursue while you're in higher education. Do everything that interests you and explore all options, don't limit yourself.

Jeiana’s Answer

If you want to consider attending a decent tech university you would typically need to have:
~3-4 years of science (chem, bio, physics, computer science)
~4 years of mathematics (algebra, geo/trigonometry, calculus)
~3-4 years of social studies (gov, econ, American history)
~2 years of foreign language (depending on the languages your school teaches)
~1-2 years of technology/engineering courses (electives)
Overall, the number of classes you would need to take (as well as the type of classes) depends on the specific requirements of the college institution you are wanting to attend. So make you do your research and find this information out on your intended college's website.
