Carnegie Units vs. Electives • Also referred to as College Entrance Units (CEU) or Academic Units • Used by colleges to express a quantitative evaluation of high school courses acceptable as preparation for college • One full-year course is equivalent as one unit. • Acceptable units are determined by the colleges and are usually given for academic preparatory courses only: English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and World Languages. • Sixteen units make up the usual college minimum requirements.
Carnegie Units vs. Electives • An elective course is any course other than that defined required course. • Electives are required and chosen to complete a student’s program after the required subjects are selected. • Electives enrich one’s background, complete the entrance requirements for specific types of schools or colleges, and offer experiences in areas of special talent. • Each year the choice of these courses is very important. Selection should be made only after careful consideration of the relationship of the course or course to one’s needs, goals, capacities, and interests.
