Community College courses?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I've been hearing my friends talk about taking community college courses over the summer..</p>

<p>What is the purpose/advantage of taking a community college course in regards to college admissions/courses? I heard you can "dock off classes" in college with these classes.. Any information is helpful!</p>

<p>And right now, I'm debating between taking a Psychology course or an Environmental Science course (neither are offered at my high school); which should I take? (I'm aiming for a career in the medical field (or is this irrelevant))..</p>

<p>You can choose to do dual-enrollment (which you take a course and it counts for college and high school credit). </p>

<p>Or you can take a few college classes, and it counts for college credit.
It can help in college admissions since colleges can see you can handle college level work.</p>

<p>Um…which one do you like better? Psychology is closer to “medical-y” fields, so that’s probably a good choice.</p>
