Graduation Requirements

Planning your four years at Corona is easy when you refer to the chart below. First, determine whether your future plans include community college, an in-state public university, an ultimate university (i.e., the Ivy League schools), or somewhere in between. Then, plan to take at least the minimum course of study in each academic area. All students must meet the requirements in the left column in order to graduate. If in doubt, it is always a good idea to aim high and keep all doors open. When you decide later, you will be well-prepared for whichever path you choose.

College/University Admissions Requirements & Recommended Preparation

IN-STATE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES

The three in-state Arizona public universities offer a wide variety of post-secondary academic majors, programs, and services.

SAMPLE NATIONAL UNIVERSITIES

National universities offer a full range of undergraduate and graduate majors and are committed to producing ground-breaking research. Since most evaluate applicants holistically, they do not publish proscribed admissions requirements.

OTHER POPULAR LOCAL COLLEGES

SAMPLE LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES

Liberal arts colleges emphasize undergraduate education and award at least half of their degrees in the liberal arts. Most of these schools also use a holistic approach to the admissions process as opposed to a cut and dried list of criteria.
