Do students need to complete one year of life science and one year of physical science?
No. This is an eligibility requirement for the California State University (CSU) system, not UC. To be UC eligible, students must take two of the three fundamental sciences: biology, chemistry, physics, or an approved three-year integreated science sequence. It is acceptable for students to take physics and chemistry, two physical sciences. We have been informed that some school districts require students to take one life science and one physical science as a graduation requirement. In those cases, students should be advised to take a sequence of science courses that will meet both the district graduation requirements and UC eligibility requirements (i.e., biology and chemistry, or biology and physics).
