Choosing the right college for yourself is difficult enough
but if you are a student-athlete that wants to play at the next level then
making sure you have met all of the NCAA requirements add even more confusion.
In the following links we will attempt to give you the basic information you
will need to ensure you are making the right decisions. Please check with your
high school coach and guidance office for more assistance.
The current "Core Course" requirement for NCAA eligibility is
13 but that is transitioning to 14 for students graduating in 2004 and will be a
requirement for 2005 graduates. For those students graduating in 2008 the NCAA
just raised the requirement to 16.
