To be admitted as a freshman, you must have completed the following courses upon high school graduation. 

♦  English:  4 course units in English, emphasizing grammar, composition and literature.

♦  Mathematics:  4 course units including Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II and a higher level mathematics course for which Algebra II is a prerequisite.

      Note:  The fourth math course unit is applicable only to students who graduated in 2006 or later.

♦  Natural Science:  3 course units including a life or biological science, a physical science and a laboratory science.

♦  Social Studies:  2 course units, one of which must be U.S. History.

♦  Foreign Language:  2 course units of a language other than English.  Both must be in the same language (i.e. Spanish 1 & 2).  ECU accepts both American Sign Language and Latin.

      Note:  The foreign language component is applicable only to students who graduated high school in 2004 or later.

During your senior year we recommend that you take a foreign language, mathematics, and a natural science course in addition to English.  These courses will better prepare you for your Freshman year curriculum.

If you have earned a GED or did not meet all of the minimum course requirements as indicated above please view the Transfer Admission Guidelines to see how to gain admission to ECU.
