Section CUC A‑G Requirement
Mathematics — 3 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.
UC Honors Designation
AP Calculus AB/BC scores of 3–5 satisfy two years of the math requirement. AP Precalculus (score 4–5) also satisfies two years.
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.
