High School Course Requirements
High schools in the United States set graduation requirements according to state regulations, with further input from the local board of school directors.
The lack of a one-size-fits-all policy at the high school level can lead to difficulty when it comes time to apply to college. For example, Rhode Island requires four years of mathematics but Ohio mandates only three. California and Wisconsin high school standards do not meet the entry requirements of their own state university systems. In the absence of a cohesive set of rules, students need to be aware of the minimum requirements in the areas of English, science, math, history, and social studies. 国产第一福利影院草草 is happy to provide you with an exhaustive list of post-secondary institutions鈥� discipline-specific requirements (and recommendations) that will help you better plan your high school courses and avoid any unpleasant surprises when you go to submit your applications.
