4 units required for graduation:

  • One unit of Biology 

  • One unit of Physical Science OR Physics 

  • One unit of Chemistry OR Earth Systems or Environmental Science OR AP/IB course 

  • One additional unit of credit, identified as a 4th Science option. The fourth science unit may be used to meet both the science and elective requirements. A list of the many upper-level science and CTAE courses that can fulfill this requirement can be found on the GaDOE Science webpage

  • Students need to earn four units of credit in science; and

  • The student’s chosen science pathway will include at least one Advanced Placement course (26.014; 26.062; 40.053; 40.083; 40.0841; 40.0842), or one International Baccalaureate course (26.01800; 26.01900; 26.06300; 40.08500; 40.08600), or one postsecondary course that fulfills a core graduation requirement in science; and

  • Students need to complete two units of sequential course credit in one world language.

  • Any AP/IB science course may be substituted for the appropriate courses listed above.

    Advanced Academic Pathway in Science Criteria:

    Advanced Academic pathways prepare students for career opportunities that will lead to multiple postsecondary options for advanced studies and skills.
