    *Financial Literacy is a state requirement and must be completed prior to graduation. Students may complete this as their elective in 10th grade or defer until senior year.

     

    **Students who have completed the base requirements may take courses at Rowan University in their junior and senior years, up to one per semester schedule allowing. There are a variety of course options available depending on the student’s specific area of interest.

     

    Three primary areas of focus that students may choose to pursue are:
    Engineering
    Math
    Computer Science
    Medical Arts

    ***By senior year, academy students have completed the bulk of their core requirements and have a good deal of flexibility with their coursework both at GHS and at Rowan. Seniors may therefore choose among several combinations of classes in a way that matches their specific interests.

     

    Note: Courses designated (x2) run for two semesters and therefore occupy two of the eight available course slots in a given year.
