[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:42 continued.  The graduation requirements for MCPS are different.  MCPS does not require students to complete Algebra II.  Some students may never get that high.  MCPS also does not require two years of foreign language, contrary to popular belief.  Students may substitute a "program completer," which is often vocational education.

I don't know if there are any other entrance requirements for UMD that I am missing.  Montgomery College, for instance, requires a minimum score on either the SAT or Accuplacer in order to enroll in credit-bearing courses, rather than remedial English or Math.  Does UMD have a similar requirement? [/quote]

ou are required to complete the following units by the time you finish high school.

English (four units) – emphasizing grammar, composition, and literature
    Mathematics (four units) – Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and an advanced math course beyond Algebra II*
    Science (three units) – including at least one unit in life or biological science, at least one unit in physical science, and at least one laboratory course
    Social Science (two units) – including one unit in US History and one unit in history, economics, sociology, or civics
    Foreign Language (two units) – both units must be in the same language (required for 2004 high school graduates and beyond)

They don't post a minimum ACT/SAT but they have an average and clearly many people don't cut it. [/quote]
