In general, college admission requires 16 Carnegie units in academic subjects
(English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science , and World Language) in grades
nine through twelve. A Carnegie unit is equal to a whole year's work in a 5
credit subject. Students planning to go to college or to other institutions of
higher learning must elect the subjects required by the institutions of their
choice.
Many colleges require work in English, social studies, science and mathematics
(Algebra and Geometry). Many colleges require at least two years of a world
language.
College entrance requirements vary from one college to the next. The
responsibility for meeting entrance requirements to the institution of the
student's choice rests with the student. All such information is clearly stated
in college catalogs, most of which may be used in the High School Guidance
Department Career Resource Center.
