What are the course requirements for each grade?

Answer 1

In middle school you must successfully complete 3 years each of: Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts in order to transition to 9th grade.Course requirements for collage are six course units in language, including four units in English emphasizing grammar, composition, and literature, and two units of a language other than English.Four course units of mathematics, in any of the following combinations: algebra I and II, geometry, and one unit beyond algebra II, algebra I and II, and two units beyond algebra II, or integrated math I, II, and III, and one unit beyond integrated math III. It is recommended that prospective students take a mathematics course unit in the twelfth grade. Three course units in science, including at least one unit in a life or biological science (for example, Biology), at least one unit in physical science (for example, physical science, chemistry, physics), and at least one laboratory course. Two course units in social studies, including one unit in U.S. history, but an applicant who does not have the unit in U.S. history may be admitted on the condition that at least three semester hours in that subject will be passed by the end of the sophomore year. Each college and school has established a program of requirements for the degree, which may be in addition to those of a field of concentration. These requirements may include (1) preparatory subject requirements for admission; (2) preparatory college-level courses for your particular field of study-to be completed, if possible, during your early period of residency in the college or school, or in some cases before entrance; (3) breadth requirements, courses outside the field of study, considered essential to a well-rounded curriculum; (4) the credit requirement, which is the total number of units to be completed, with specifications of how these credits are to be distributed; and (5) a minimum scholarship requirement. For detailed information, you should obtain a copy of the announcement of your college or school. If you fail to maintain the minimum grade-point average prescribed by your college or school, you will normally be dismissed or put on probation. Since scholarship rules are applied only at the close of regular sessions, grade points that you earn in a University of California summer session or by removing an Incomplete grade are not taken into consideration until the close of your next semester of attendance.After you have completed 90 units toward The Bachelor's degree, you must complete at least 24 of the remaining units in residence in no fewer than two semesters in the college or school of the University in which you will take your degree. You must begin these final 24 units in the semester in which you exceed 90 units. You should consult the announcement of your college or school for details concerning the Senior Residence Requirement as it pertains to the summer session. Every student must select a field of concentration and pursue a major or curriculum, normally by taking a minimum number of units in one department or school. Occasionally-as with business administration and others-the school and the department are synonymous. In some cases a major may embrace more than one department, as with the interdisciplinary studies field major in the College of Letters and Science. Major requirements that must be fulfilled before you may receive a baccalaureate degree are outlined in each department in the "Courses and Curricula" section of this catalog.
