# What subjects can I study?

The U.S. Department of State requires that your classes be educational in nature and cover an academic topic. Examples include Psychology, Marketing, English, History, Science, Business, and many other subjects.

Select art-based classes may be accepted on a case-by-case basis, but you must get [pre-approval](https://nl2yi.share.hsforms.com/2bnhWlG1jS1aH9V0vmY8DDw) from Au Pair USA before enrolling.  
Classes that will NOT be approved include vocational or physical movement courses, such as mixology, hairdressing, modeling, yoga, dance, etc. These cannot count toward your program requirement.
