Four years are recommended. Classes must provide fundamental knowledge in two of the following: biology, chemistry, or physics. A yearlong interdisciplinary, or integrated, or earth and space science course can meet one year of this requirement.
History/Social Sciences (Area A) Two years of history/social science are required, including one year of world history, cultures or historical geography and one year of U.S. history. One-half year of U.S. history and one-half year of civics or American government is also acceptable.
