Section CUC A‑G Requirement

Mathematics3 years required (4 strongly recommended)

Must cover elementary and advanced algebra and two-/three-dimensional geometry. A geometry course or integrated math with sufficient geometry content is required. A 4th year of math is strongly recommended for STEM fields.

Why This Matters for College Admission

Math is the most heavily weighted subject for STEM admissions. The 4th year (Pre-Calc, Calculus, or Statistics) is expected at competitive UCs and signals college-readiness.
