MAPS Requirements
MAPS Requirements
Every college has certain criteria for which they look for in a candidate, which includes which classes they’ve taken in high school. These are called “MAPS” requirements, (Minimum Academic Preparation Standards.) Every college will list their requirements on their websites, and we encourage students to look at these as early as their 9th grade year to plan out their course sequences.
Here are some examples of MAPS requirements:
