<p>Hey everyone! I am an international student in Ukraine (my family is mostly American but I lived my entire life in different countries all around Europe and I am completing my high school in Ukraine) and I never went to any educational institution in America but I am planning on attending a university there. I am almost done with all courses I need to graduate from high school and I am doing some APs this year. Are there any courses American unis will expect me to take (apart from 4 years of English and Math obviously)? I am especially interested in US history since social studies aren't my strength. It would make sense to take at least a year of US history, but do I need to go any further and take US Government for example? Thanks for any info</p>
<p>4 years english & math (like you said)
3 years lab science if possible (physics, biology, chemistry)
4 years foreign language (is this just english for you?)
4 years social sciences (history, psychology, government, etc.)</p>
<p>Those are just suggestions of course. Different colleges have different requirements and recommendations. </p>
<p>Thank you! Do you think taking US history or US government is crucial or useful in any way? Or should I stick to just world history?</p>
<p>
Is it crucial? No. Is it useful? Well, if your are coming to live in a country for 4 years, it would certainly be helpful to understand some of the historical background.</p>
<p>Thank you. </p>
