Available college courses at FHS:
Check the FHS course description guide (& college guides) below for details & FHS prerequisites. Almost every course EXCEPT COMP 1 and science classes now REQUIRES a minimum Reading Score: ACT Reading 18+ or COMPASS Reading 81+ or ACCUPLACER 85+; this is a FHS testing requirement for our dual credit classes in addition to the college requirement.
Effective FA18, MAC has new degree plans to meet state transferability standards. Courses meeting the new transferability guidelines will have MOTR numbers, and they are noted on MAC's degree plans. Additional MOTR info can be found at : chrome-extension://ecnphlgnajanjnkcmbpancdjoidceilk/content/web/viewer.html?source=extension_pdfhandler&file=https%3A%2F%2Fdhe.mo.gov%2Fdocuments%2FCORE42COMPILATIONEQUIVALENCIESupdatedFeb28.pdf
NOTE: Dual credit courses are automatically included on your FHS transcript, however dual enrollment courses must be "transferred" to FHS by the student in order to count toward FHS graduation requirements -- simply print an online transcript from your MyMAC account and bring it to your grade-level counselor to be "transcribed in" at the time of course completion.
****MAC testing will change during Fall 2016; COMPASS will no longer be given, and new ACCUPLACER required scores will be added here at that time.
DUAL CREDIT KEY:
-- course numbers in RED are Mineral Area College course numbers (see description link below);
-- course numbers in BLUE are Missouri Baptist University course numbers (see description link below);
-- FHS departmental categories are in GREEN
AGAIN, most MAC (dual credit and dual enrollment) classes now REQUIRES a minimum Reading Score: ACT Reading 18+ or COMPASS Reading 81+ or ACCUPLACER 85+; this is a FHS testing requirement for our dual credit classes in addition to the college requirement. See MAC REQUIRED TEST SCORES page for details: Multiple Measures alternative placement with lower test scores is NOT an option for high school students.
