How Much HS Math Do You Need To Get Into A Cal State?

How much high school math do you need to get admitted to a Cal State?

THE BACKSTORY

The plan under consideration calls for an extra year of math, or a related class (more on what those are at the link below) to even qualify for Cal State consideration.

So what's the fight? Well, opponents of the new requirement say it would discriminate against low-income students and students of color.

CSU's board of trustees were scheduled to vote on the proposal yesterday. Instead, they decided to to commission a year-long study — putting off a decision until at least 2022.
