是的! Many high schools and post-secondary institutions offer flexibility for students to choose what is right for their educational path. If you find that your initial choice isn’t the right fit, discuss it with your school counselor or college academic advisor. They can guide you through the process of transitioning down a different pathway that aligns better with your goals and interests.

记住，寻找教育途径是一个过程。 Be proactive, explore various options, and seek guidance from professionals and educators. There is not one specific answer for determining what pathway works best for you. Many classes can give you important skills that are applicable to all careers. You’re on the right track by seeking answers and taking steps toward your desired career!

绝对的! 同时入学（CE）学分在UVU之外也很有价值。 CE courses allow you to earn both high school and college credit. These official college transcripts are accepted at various higher education institutions.
