2007-2008 High School Course Prerequisites
Students are expected to complete the following high-school curriculum:
-
English 4 units
At least two units must have strong grammar and composition components, at least one must be in English literature, and at least one must be in American literature.
*College Preparatory English I, II, III and IV will meet this criterion.
-
Mathematics 3 units
Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II are required.*Applied Mathematics I and II may count together as a substitute for Algebra I if a student successfully completes Algebra II.
-
Laboratory Science 3 units
Two units must be taken in two different fields and selected from among biology, chemistry or physics. The third unit may be from the same field as one of the first two units (biology, chemistry, or physics) or from any laboratory science for which biology and/or chemistry is a prerequisite. Courses in earth science, general physical science, or introductory or general environmental science for which biology and/or chemistry is not a prerequisite will not meet this requirement. It is strongly recommended that students take physical science (taught as a laboratory science) as a prerequisite to the three required units of laboratory science outlined in this section. -
Foreign Language 2 units
Both units must be in the same language. -
U.S. History 1 unit
-
Social Studies 2 units
Must include one unit of US history. One-half unit of economics and one-half unit of government are strongly recommended. -
Elective 4 units
These must be college-preparatory units taken in addition to the 15 units above, and they must taken from at least three different fields selected from computer science, English, fine arts, foreign languages, humanities, laboratory science (excluding those for which biology and/or chemistry is not a prerequisite), mathematics above the level of Algebra II, or social sciences. It is suggested that one unit be in computer science which includes programming (i.e., not just keyboarding) and one unit in fine arts (appreciation of, history of, or performance). - Physical Education/ROTC 1 unit
