practical encryption
Learning how to hack and how to avoid hacking are of primary importance in any spy's life. As such, the computer labs here are equipped with the highest grade computers with anything the students may need to advance their technological skills.
Grade Levels: Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior
Required: In freshman year; all years if aiming for an analyst job
language courses
Wicker provides a great many language courses, the most commonly taken being German, French, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese and Russian. However, Italian, Arabic and quite a few others. There is also, of course, the classic English class.
Grade Levels: Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior for each language
Required: Minimum eight classes in the four years; minimum of two English classes in the four years
covert operations
In the freshman year, coveops is more like intense physical education class. However, if you make it through that class and you want to keep going, the next three years are held in the Underground, out of sight from prying visitors and extremely restricted. There are mazes, set up missions, and a variety of things that most people wouldn't believe would be down there, even if you were allowed to tell them.
Grade Levels: Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior
Required: In freshman year; all years if aiming for field ops
protection and enforcement
For learning how to protect assets, important persons, and how to enforce the law beyond what the police academy would teach you, you take P&E. It isn't much more complicated than that. This class also includes lessons on how to back up a field operative, and so they will occasionally go on fake missions with coveops.
Grade Levels: Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior
Required: In freshman year
Culture and Assimilation
In order to pretend to be someone else, you must learn various cultures and learn how to blend into them. This class involves both. You'll learn how to fake accents, how to tell a convincing lie... Hell, you'll even learn how to beat a polygraph! Though, that's more of a thing added in by the teacher. It certainly isn't part of the curriculum.
Grade Levels: Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior
Required: In freshman and sophomore year; in all four years if aiming for field ops
countries of the world
Equivalent to a very high level geography class and going more into depth than anyone could even imagine possible at the high school level, COW is one of the more normal courses at Wicker. It includes topics like world history as well.
Grade Levels: Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior
Required: In all years
sciences
Wicker has laboratories for biology, chemistry and physics, the three more important sciences in the line of spy work. The science oriented Wicker students often go on to research. Let's just say the labs and science courses here involve a lot more dangerous chemicals and advanced techniques than regular science courses.
Grade Levels: Freshman, sophomore, junior, senior
Required: At least one in freshman and sophomore years
driver's education
One of the few classes that Wicker shares in common with regular schools is Driver's Ed. True, there is an advanced class in the senior year for tailing, losing tails, and other such things that normal people won't learn, but the junior class is perfectly normal.
Grade Levels: Junior, senior
Required: In junior year
