• High School Graduation Requirements

  Subject	Units* Required for Engineering
  English	4
  History and Social Studies	2
  Mathematics (including Calculus)	4
  Physics	1
  Chemistry	1
  Other Electives	5-7
  Total Units* Required	17 minimum, 19 recommended

  *A unit represents a year's study in a subject

  In the area of mathematics, candidates may offer somewhat different patterns of preparation provided they will be ready for the intensive study of calculus at college. Preparation beyond the listed minimum in mathematics is highly recommended. College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Mathematics are suitable courses for such further preparation.

  Students in high school will be expected to supply transcripts covering subjects taken during the first three years of high school (Grades 9, 10, and 11). High school graduates must supply the full four-year record. High school transcripts should be sent during the fall and winter months, but no later than January 18 if supporting a first-year application.
