High School Requirements

Applicants should have at least 16 Carnegie Units of college preparatory course work in high school that includes some combination of the following (in order of importance):

  • Four years of English
    While courses like speech and other English electives are interesting, we recommend those be taken in addition to (not as replacements for) English courses with a strong emphasis on writing and reading of literature.
  • Two to three years of modern language
    We require a minimum of two, but highly recommend that applicants pursue as many years of language as possible.
  • Three to four years of theoretical mathematics
  • Three to four years of science including at least 2 lab sciences
  • Three to four years of history & social sciences

We recommend that you challenge yourself at the highest level of the coursework suitable to your abilities. The number of honors level and Advanced Placement courses that are in a student’s background are considered in our decision-making process.
