Chem I and II at the college level
Comp I and II
Microbiology
Computer programming I and II
and then some number of electives</p>
<p>oh, and my high school is only the second two years (junior and senior years)</p>
<p>English: 4 Years
Electives: 2 Years worth
Physical Education: 3 quarters per year, plus 1 quarter of health per year
Math: 3 Years
Science: 3 Years

<p>At my current high school the requirements are for the highest level diploma:
4yrs social studies
4yrs science
4yrs english
4yrs math
3yrs foriegn language
4yrs gym
1 credit music or arts
then some other credits from electives, plus passing of certain tests</p>
<p>4 Credits English
4 Credits Math
4 Credits Science
4 Credits Social Studies
3 Credits Foreign Language
1.5 Credits PE
.5 Credit Health Education
1 Credit Technology Applications
.5 Credit Communication Applications
.5 Credit ACE (Academic Career Excellence)
1 Credit Fine Arts
2 Elective Credits
4 Advanced Measures (AP/pre-AP courses)</p>
<p>Yes, these are required to graduate, except if you enter after freshman year, you don't have to take ACE (freshman class mostly), but you still have to take health, some people had to do it senior year. That's also a mostly freshman course. Ha.</p>
<p>Not sure what the bare bones minimum is but there exists the recommended plan and the distinguished. You get medals at graduation for graduating on one of those plans with a career passport. It's lame over here.</p>
<p>there are three different diplomas you can get. one honestly doesn't even count since it allows you to fail classes and still get credit.</p>
<p>regents diploma with advanced designation:
4 years english
math a
math b
another math class of your choice
2 years of a language (or else 5 credits in all art, business or music and a regents)
global 9 and 10
us history
government
economics
earth science
chemistry
bio
2 credits gym (each year you have it every other day, so that's .5/year)
1 elective
health</p>
<p>the total amount of credits needed is 22 minimum. but the above are the requiered courses. basically i'm graduating with 34.75 credits, so you can take more.</p>
<p>the only difference between a regular regents diploma is testing: you need math a, two sciences (chem, bio, e. sci or physics), foreign language (or art/buisiness/music) and english.</p>

4 yrs English

<p>My school pretty much has the same policy as the minimum Ohio requirements.

1/2 credit of PE (which is really a whole year somehow)
3 years of math
1/2 year of health
3 years of science
3 years of social studies

and a fine arts credit.</p>
<p>That's if you want to just graduate in general.
If you want to graduate college prep, you have to take the college prep classes under those guidelines, in addition to either 3 years of a foreign language or 2 years each of 2 foreign languages.</p>
<p>my school:
2 art (band/theater/singing also count)
0.5 health
1.5 PE
4 English
3 Math
3 Science
2 Social studies
(and if you are an american citizen, 1 US history)</p>
<p>oh forgot that if i put 2, it means 2 years. so 0.5 is one semester.
and this is just for graduating from our high school. there is also ib requirements if you're doing ib.</p>
<p>4 English
4 Math (Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, one other)
3 Social Studies (Econ and Goc [1 semester each]. world history and us history)
3 Science (One bio, one chem, one physical science)
2 years of foreign language
1 Fine Art (an extra year of Lang. can count as this)
.5 PE
.5 health
And some weird number of electives</p>
<p>Plus to graduate you have to do a senior project which is a huge ordeal that many people cry about.</p>
