What Is a Prerequisite?
Prerequisite classes must be completed prior to another course.
For example, before enrolling in an advanced biology course, colleges require you to pass the introductory class level first.
Prerequisites act as fundamental building blocks, giving students the background knowledge needed for more specialized courses.
Colleges mandate these classes to help ensure your success and preparation.
Where Can I Take Prerequisites?
Colleges outline their prerequisites, which offer you the opportunity to take these courses ahead of time and lighten future semesters or potentially save money by graduating early.
Flexible and affordable options include:
- Accredited online institutions such as Portage Learning
- Community colleges
- Dual enrollment programs
