Freshman Applicants

High School Course Prerequisites

Applicants must complete the following courses:

  • 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. Completion of College Preparatory English I, II, III, and IV will meet this criterion.
  • Mathematics.............................3 units
    Includes Algebra I (for which Applied Mathematics I and II count together as a substitute, if a student successfully completes Algebra II), Algebra II, and Geometry. A fourth higher level mathematics course is strongly recommended but not required. This fourth unit should be selected from among precalculus, calculus, statistics, or discrete mathematics.
  • 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.
  • Foreign Language......................2 units
    Two units of the same language.
  • Social Science ..............................3 units
    One unit of US History is required; a half unit of Economics and a half unit in Government are strongly recommended.
  • Physical Education or ROTC.....1 unit
  • Electives........................................4 units
    Four college preparatory units must be taken from at least three different fields selected from among Computer Science, English, Fine Arts, Foreign Languages, Humanities, Laboratory Science (excluding earth science, general physical science, general environmental science, or other introductory science courses for which biology and/or chemistry is not a prerequisite), Mathematics above the level of Algebra II, and Social Sciences. It is suggested that one unit be in Computer Science which includes programming (not just keyboarding) and one unit in Fine Arts (i.e. appreciation of, history, or performance).
