<p>Hey everyone. I'm scheduling my courses for my sophomore year of high school and I've come to the decision to take Chinese I honors instead of AP World History. Although, I am kind of afraid that I'll regret this when I'm a senior and don't have as many AP classes as other people... Languages are where my heart is though, and I know I won't be bored by the class....If it's worth anything, I will also be taking Spanish III. Thanks for your input!</p>
<p>I don’t think it matters either way. Course rigor isn’t just about AP classes anyway. </p>
<p>Are you taking a history - honors or otherwise? Seems weird to take two foreign languages but drop history your sophomore year.</p>
<p>btw, I know this isn’t really your primary concern but for what its worth, AP World is one of the most interesting AP humanities courses offered by College Board - I’d recommend it over any other AP History/Social Science. But yeah, that’s kind of of irrelevant, lol. </p>
<p>Not to mention, most universities have the resources to teach a wide variety of languages, so you can pick up Chinese there if you want.</p>
<p>I’ve heard great things about AP World History. However, since I’m also doubling in the sciences, (Chemistry and Anatomy/Physiology) I won’t have room in my schedule for a history class. I do plan on taking history classes in my junior and senior years of high school. </p>
<p>Most universities expect you to take 4 units of history throughout your high school career, so I would check on that with your prospective college choices. For my high school, I know that taking a history class every year is a graduation requirement, but then again every school is different.</p>
<p>Thanks for bringing that up, I’ll check on that!</p>
<p>@SoyUnaMagdalena - At my school, we only need 3 credits, so the number of history credits you need can vary, though check with your GC. Also, have you looked into taking one or the other online? I now that a couple of states now have Virtual Schools which can administer classes to you.</p>
<p>@observeraffect Having looked into it more, I’ve found that most colleges/universities typically only require three. My high school requires three as well. I actually haven’t looked into taking any classes online, but I’ve heard of a few students doing that to fulfill some credits. </p>
