Mathematics Courses
-
Students need four credits in high school mathematics in order to earn an Ohio high school diploma. Algebra 2 is required by state law. The recommendation is that students complete Algebra 2 by the end of their third year in high school. Algebra 2 is the highest-level math course required for graduation. The other three math credits must be high school-level courses.
College Credit Plus students will receive additional information for the next steps via email after scheduling is complete.
