How will a semester or academic-year program affect my academic career?
Graduation requirements vary from state to state, so you should discuss your plans to participate in NSLI-Y with your guidance counselor. We also recommend that you find out in advance whether you may receive credit in liberal arts subjects through participating in the program. The primary focus of NSLI-Y is language learning, and students will attend academic classes in the target language. Your high school will make the final decision on whether or not to grant academic credit. You should take into consideration that such U.S. specific subjects as English, Literature, World History, State History, etc. are unlikely to be offered at an equivalent level or offered at all, which is why you might want to arrange taking certain courses prior to or after your participation in the NSLI-Y program.
