Re: uc csu
As you Asking for the Comparison between California State University (CSU) Or University of California the Comparison is given below VALIDATION OF SUBJECT OMISSION BY OTHER COURSES California State University Mathematics A grade of C or better in the first semester of Algebra II validates both semesters of Algebra I. A grade of C or better in Trigonometry or Pre-calculus validates the entire high school college preparatory requirement. Integrated style Math 2 will be accepted in lieu of a geometry course. (See exception for UC below). University of California The omission of a geometry course (or a series of integrated math courses containing geometry content) cannot be validated by any higher-level coursework. However, the omission of the 1st semester of geometry can be validated by successful completion of the 2nd semester. Refer to UC’s Validation Matrix in the Quick Reference for Counselors guide. 1. Cost The average cost of tuition alone for a full year at most CSU's is currently around $7000 while the average cost of an academic year at a UC is around $12000. Consider the difference with how long it takes most to graduate, 4-6 years, and a CSU student would be be spending $20000-$30000 less than a UC student. 2. Locations There are 23 CSU's located throughout California while there are only 9 UC's for undergraduate. So for those who are looking to commute or stay near their home, it is much more likely they will find a CSU near them than a UC. 3. High Acceptance Rate Most CSU campuses have higher acceptance rates than most UC's. Many would consider a higher acceptance rate a bad thing since it means the university is taking most who apply. But for students who had a tough high school experience and want to start over straight from a university rather than a community college, a student who didn't have the time to get those extracurricular activities, or one who simply does not like a competitive atmosphere, going to a CSU could be the right choice. VALIDATION OF SUBJECT REQUIREMENTS BY TEST SCORES Required "a-g" courses may be satisfied with appropriate test scores on SAT Subject Tests, Advanced Placement exams, and designated International Baccalaureate exams. A list of acceptable tests and scores is available on UC and CSU websites. For UC, the omission of a course in Geometry cannot be validated by any examination score. |
