Graduation+Requirements

 • **Class of 2011 - ** **Eight trimesters of Science including at least two trimesters each of Biology, Chemistry and Physics are required for graduation. Previous Biology, Chemistry, and Physics courses will each count as three trimesters. ** • **Class of 2012 – Eight trimesters of Science including at least two trimesters each of Biology, Chemistry and Physics are required for graduation. Previous Biology, Chemistry, and Physics courses will each count as three trimesters. Students in this class may take 130 Electricity & Magnetism, 230 Kinematics as well as any of the Physics for Presidents trimester courses to fulfill the physics core requirement as allowed by the math prerequisite for each course. ** • **Class of 2013 – Eight trimesters of Science including the core courses listed below and two AST courses are required for graduation. Three trimesters of are credit given for Freshman Biology to take the place of 110 Cells and 210 Genetics.) **  130 Electricity and Magnetism 230 Kinematics  120 Atomic Structure  220 Liberal Arts Chemistry or 225 Chemistry for Scientists   Bottom of Form  __<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">110 Cells __<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> 210 Genetics and BioEngineering 130 Electricity and Magnetism 230 Kinematics 120 Atomic Structure 220 Liberal Arts Chemistry or 225 Chemistry for Scientists <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">

 * <span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Students may take a 300 level course after completing two core courses for that strand while enrolled in other core courses concurrently. The first digit indicates challenge level 100 is basic to the 400 level. The second digit indicates the strand of science 1 for Biology, 2 for Chemistry, 3 for Physics, 4 for Earth and Environmental Science. Other digits contain courses that are blended such as 5 for Art, 6 for Math, 7 for English, 8 for Library/Tech, 9 for individual student. The third digit determines sequence in the same level. For instance, 411 must be taken before 412. Zero typically means it is the start of a sequence or the only class in that group. **
