Question regarding transcripts and WTM history

[DawnUK]

I'd like to continue the four year history cycle, but I've noticed posts saying that colleges like one year of world history, one year of American history/ Civics, and something else which escapes me (I'm new at the High School thing). How would four years of specific history periods look on the transcript? Has anyone had a problem with it? Thanks for the help!

SWB discusses that in the WTM. The gist of it is that you are covering all those courses during your 4 year rotation. To make it easier for the colleges to understand, you simply list them under those more well known course names. You'll probably have to throw in more US Government than will probably come naturally through your studies but that would be easy enough with a US government book tossed in the mix.

 

Oops, just noticed you are in the UK. But the same goes for a civics book. Hope that helps.

Stephanie,

 

Thanks. So I could list Medieval History, for example, on the transcript? We aren't in the UK anymore, though, we're in the Middle East. My husband is in the military, but my kids will be going to U.S. universities so I want to make sure the transcripts will be suitable. Thanks again for your help. I guess I should have started by checking with the source-- the WTM!

Instead of "Medieval History," I'd say "World History from 400-1650" or whatever dates you used.

Thanks. Now I'm off to rethink history again! I do enjoy history, though, so it's good.
