<p>eastcoastcrazy- In Michigan, the requirement is 4 credits of math to include Geometry, Algebra I and Algebra II. It is also specified that a math course must be taken during the senior year so a kid can’t even take an applied math course while taking Algebra I in another year. This started with the high school class of 2011. The class of 2016 is the first to have a two credit foreign language requirement. </p>
