    Excellence in Education, requires at least:
    o Four years of English;
    o Three years of math (Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II);
    o Three years of lab science (biology, chemistry, and physics);
    o Three-and-one-half years of social studies (chosen from U.S. and World History,
    Geography, Economics and Government); and
    o Two years of a language other than English.

    • A set of courses similar to the State Scholars Initiative. This program of study requires
    passing grades in the following:
    o Four years of English;
    o Three years of math (including Algebra I and a higher level course such as Algebra
    II, geometry, or data analysis and statistics);
    o Three years of science (including at least two courses from biology, chemistry or
    physics);
    o Three years of social studies; and
    o One year of a foreign language.

    • Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses and test scores.
    This program requires a minimum of two Advanced Placement (AP) or International
    Baccalaureate (IB) courses in high school and a minimum passing score on the exams for
    those classes. Students must score 3 or higher on AP exams and 4 or higher on IB exams.

    • Assured Admission to the University of Wyoming. This program requires:

    substantial writing component. Speech and other communication-based courses with
    substantial writing components may meet this requirement. Students may also meet
    the requirement by completing three units in English/communication/language arts,
    plus two units of the same foreign language.
    o Three units of Mathematics. Must include a college preparatory Algebra I, Algebra
    II, and geometry sequence. Taking Algebra II, geometry, or a higher-level math
    course is recommended during the senior year.
    o Three units of Science. At least one unit must be from the physical sciences:
    physics, chemistry, or a college preparatory physical science course. The remaining
    two units may be from any combination of biological, life, physical, or earth
    sciences.
    o Three Cultural Context Units selected from the behavioral or social sciences, visual
    or performing arts, humanities or earth/space sciences.
