A student may substitute an integrated, applied, interdisciplinary, or higher level course within a program of

study if the substituted course offers the same or greater academic rigor and the course covers or exceeds the

minimum required content.

Rigorous electives should have academic content at least as challenging as that in courses required in

the minimum high school graduation requirements. These electives also should be in social studies, science,

math, English and language arts, arts and humanities, foreign language, and, above the introductory level, in

agriculture, industrial technology, business, marketing, family and consumer sciences, health sciences, and

technology education and career pathways. Electives in physical education and health are limited to one-

half unit each.

Completing the PCC will enable students to compete for the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarships

(KEES).
