Admission requirements can vary and particular colleges may have additional requirements with regard to college-prep courses, examination requirements, and the general application process. It is, therefore, highly recommended that students go to the websites of the colleges they plan to apply to and become familiar with the entrance requirements of each institution.

Some notable examples of colleges with additional requirements are:

• University of California: one year of visual and performing arts
  UC admission requirements

• University of Arizona: one year of fine arts and four years of math
  University of Arizona admission requirements

• University of Texas: one semester of speech (consult your counselor for FHS equivalents)
