2. Satisfactory completion of the following high school units or equivalent as a minimum: 4 years of English, 3 years of mathematics (Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry), 1 year of laboratory science, and one year of social science.
Students with deficiencies will require developmental studies and will not be able to complete the program within a two year window.
