UC Approved Course List (A-G)
A-G Subject Requirements and College Admissions
The University of California’s (UC’s) “a-g” subject requirements were developed to ensure that students entering UC schools have attained a body of general knowledge preparing them for college success. The California State University system (CSUs) follows UC’s “a-g” subject requirements for undergraduate admissions eligibility.
PUC Schools’ High School Diploma requirements align with UC/CSU’s “a-g” minimum requirements, ensuring that all students who earn a PUC Schools’ high diploma are prepared and eligible for 4-year undergraduate college success.
In addition, PUC Schools are dedicated to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to thrive in our global economy. Through partnerships with Los Angeles Community Colleges, PUC Schools’ high school students may take dual enrollment college courses, including Career Technical Education (CTE) courses, allowing students to access rigorous academics and preparing students for success in both college and careers.
