Courses to Take - New Fall 2010 Requirements
Last Updated: 4/3/2007
Public Colleges & Universities
The 2005 Oklahoma Legislature passed SB 982, also known as the ACE College Preparatory/Work Ready Curriculum, mandating a default college preparatory/work ready curriculum for students graduating from high school in 2010. The default curriculum is aligned with the 2010 Oklahoma’s Promise curriculum, and the legislation requires that all courses within the curriculum be approved for college admission. The subject names below are linked to more detailed course requirements.
