Both Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate classes are
offered as well as College Preparatory classes. AP and IB courses have ACT
score and prerequisite requirements students must meet in order to enroll in
these classes. Students may also take courses at LSU through independent
study or concurrent enrollment. The LSU Laboratory School is the only high
school in the state of Louisiana to be approved for the IB Diploma Program.
Classes are scheduled by blocks on alternating days (A/B block scheduling)
and students may earn 8 credits per year.
Concurrent Enrollment
Students at University High School are eligible to
enroll in concurrently enrolled courses through LSU. These courses are
taught on the U High campus during regular school hours. Students that
successfully complete a concurrent course receive a letter grade and an
LSU transcript that will apply to earned credit for the student if they
enter LSU. The credits will also transfer to any university that
accepts credits from LSU. Tuition for these classes is waived as are
University related fees. Students are expected to purchase their own
textbooks and they are also required to pay any course related fees that
may apply.
For the
2007-2008 school year the following courses are available for concurrent
enrollment:
a) Math 1021 (College Algebra)
b) Math 1022 (College Trigonometry)
c) English 1001 (Freshman English)
d) Environmental Systems 1126
Details
regarding student eligibility for these courses vary and interested
students and parents should contact Myra Broussard (578-0414) for
additional information. Efforts are underway to expand the concurrent
enrollment offerings so the list of offerings may grow before the start
of the 2007-2008 school year.
Rank in class is weighted and is based on the semester grades for all
classes taken for credit.
