<p>I’m almost done with my UC essays, but I’m having a little trouble finding the right word for the following sentence:</p>

<p>“I also plan to study for the AP Calculus BC exam to get a head start in my college math _____”</p>

<p>“Career” doesn’t seem right, but that’s KIND OF the type of word I’m looking for. I’m going to be an engineer, so obviously math will be a very important part of my college education. What word should I use (Or perhaps you have a better way to phrase the sentence?)?</p>
