Our '21 DS HS did not offer CS class either. I don't think it ever became an issue. Hope this helps.

A computer science class is not required for admission. USAFA recommends four years of science and four years of math, but not computer science specifically. May want to check your source.

Note that one year of “computer study” is not necessarily the same thing as computer science. And it is recommended, not required.

I believe it recommends a general computer class, it so much computer science.

You have been given excellent advice by the posters.

USAFA's website "RECOMMENDS" the course; it is NOT required.

The USAFA website says 'recommend'......

To be academically competitive for an appointment to the Academy, we recommend completion of the following high school courses:

If your school doesn't offer it, they aren't going to fault you for not taking it.

USAFA will know if your school doesn't offer Computer Sci, higher math, gym class, or lunch. Relax
