Most California high school graduates did not meet the course requirements for either the University of California or California State University systems in 2023, according to data from the California Department of Education.
EdSource, which describes itself as the “largest independent newsroom focused on education,” analyzed that data and reported that 56% of the state’s high school graduates last year did not qualify for the state’s two university systems.
The systems share the same A-G requirements so the number of graduates not meeting the course requirements is the same for both. The difference is that California high school graduates need at least a 3.0 GPA in their A-G classes for UC colleges, or a 2.5 GPA in their A-G classes for CSU colleges.
