LAUSD's high school graduation requirements align with the minimum course requirements (A-G Courses) needed to apply to a Cal State University of California. However, fulfillment of the requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
For competitive colleges/universities, it is recommended that the students take courses beyond the minimum course requirements.
