Question: What if I'm not sure about health professions as a career? I mean, I'm only 16 years old!
Answer: That's okay--we're looking for students who want to explore health professions as a possible career path, not requiring them to make a lifetime commitment. The education you'll get at GEC will prepare you for future academic success in just about any area.
Question: What about electives? Can I take a poetry class? Symphony orchestra? Theater?
Answer: Yes. Each student's EDP will determine his or her college course load. The sample listed on this site is just that--a sample.
