Welcome

This web site aims to assist high school educators in designing courses that meet both the University of California subject area requirements and conform to school curricular reform efforts. In addtion to detailed information about the "a-g requirements", the site provides numerous UC-approved course descriptions of standard, honors, and innovative courses. The "a-g" Guide facilitates a thorough understanding of the UC course approval process and provides helpful insights as to why courses have not been approved. We hope that you find this site useful, and welcome any recommendations for improvement.

The ultimate goal of the "a-g" Guide Project is to clarify the UC course approval process, to provide guidance to schools on how to present their course offerings to UC, and to ensure that UC/CSU subject area requirements encompass the best of high school reform efforts in California.

The "a-g" Guide Project and this web site are jointly funded and supported by the California Department of Education (CDE) and the University of California (UC).
