<p>Recommending greater than “4 years of high school math” typically means recommending taking calculus if available (since “4 years of high school math” typically means completing trigonometry and precalculus).</p>
<p>[Cal</a> Poly San Luis Obispo](<a href=“Cal Poly Admissions”>Cal Poly Admissions) also desires freshman applicants to have 5 years of English, 5 years of math, 4 years of foreign language, 4 years of science, and 2 years of arts in high school, which are significantly beyond the usual CSU requirements.</p>
<p>Note that math and foreign language are commonly understood to refer to the level, so this really means to take calculus if available, and level 4 or higher of the foreign language if available. Not sure how the fifth year of English is expected, unless it means that they are expecting AP or IB HL level, or taking an additional elective English course alongside the normal four year sequence.</p>
