NOTES:
School divisions must follow the Standards of Accreditation and Board Approved Course list when developing pathways.)
Some courses have pre or co-requisites. Additional Science courses offered at the Career Center may fulfill science graduation credits. Please see the individual Science Course descriptions.
The prerequisite content for these courses is the first-level SOL core course in this discipline. Students who have not taken the first level course in this discipline are required to take the corresponding SOL test
The Board of Education’s Guidelines on Credit Accommodations allow students with disabilities who are eligible for credit accommodations in science to use each part of Earth Science, Parts 1 and 2, and Biology, Parts 1 and 2, to earn a standard credit towards the three science credits required for the Standard Diploma only. A student who chooses to earn standard credits by taking the Earth Science and Biology in two parts must complete both parts of both courses to meet the minimum course requirements and would earn three standard credits in science plus one additional elective credit. Two-part courses may also be combined with full-year courses in other Board-approved science courses to meet the requirements.
It is highly recommended that students planning to apply or attend college take four science courses to include Biology, Chemistry, and Physics
