Graduation Requirements

  Students attending Nebraska Lutheran are expected to enroll in a minimum of 7 class periods per semester.  A student must earn a total of 24 credits in order to graduate.  These 24 credits should include the following required courses:

 

Freshmen:   Engligh,Mathematics,FreshmanMusic/Choir,Religion, Biology, Computer Applications, Health

Sophomores: English, Mathematics, Choir, Religion, World History, Physical Education

Juniors:           English, Religion, American History

Seniors:          English, Religion, Health (if not previously taken), Career Guidance

 

 

All students are also required to take an additional year of elective science at some time during their sophomore through senior years.  All students must have Algebra I as one of their required math credits.

 

The remaining credits may be chosen from elective subjects offered.  A listing of these is available from the office.  Elective course choices may vary from year to year.

 

PREPARING FOR COLLEGE

When choosing courses during the high school years, it is important to look ahead to what courses are required for admission to college.  Because NELHS graduates attend a wide variety of colleges and universities after graduation, it is difficult to specifically list what courses a college-bound student should enroll in while at NELHS.  Some general guidelines include:

 

English:                      4 years                      

Social Studies:           3-4 years

Math*:                         3-4 years                   

World Languages:***            2+ years

Science**:                  3-4 years

 

*Many colleges require Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II

**Many colleges require at least one year of Biology and either Chemistry or Physics

***Most colleges desire two or more years of the same language

 

In addition to the above suggestions, students who plan to continue their education at Martin Luther College in preparation for the teaching ministry are encouraged to include courses in music in their high school curriculum.  Students who plan to attend Martin Luther College in preparation for the parish ministry are strongly encouraged to give further emphasis to the study of foreign language.  The Martin Luther College catalog can give more specific information on these issues.

 

Many federal grants for college, such as the Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), also require that students complete a rigorous core curriculum in high school.  This core curriculum is similar to the guidelines listed above.
