In California, the A-G requirements are standards for high school coursework required for admission to a University of California or California State University school.
The requirements consist of a C grade or better in the following subjects, identified by letter: (A) 2 years of History (B) 4 years of English (C) 3 years of Mathematics (D) 2 years of Science (E) 2 years of Foreign Language (F) 1 year of Visual or Performing Arts (G) 1 year of an elective, such as Computer Science, Economics, or Psychology
Some school districts require all students to meet the A-G standards in order to graduate, which are more demanding than the statewide minimum requirements for high school graduation. In 2023, a majority of California high-school graduates did not meet the A-G standards, making them ineligible for admission to state universities.
