MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT REQUIREMENTS

A. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS: To graduate from the Academy of Our Lady of Peace, a student must complete 30 credits (three years) of mathematics. It is important to note that four year colleges and universities require a minimum of three years of mathematics (with a recommendation of four), with a strong suggestion that the last year of mathematics be taken during the senior year. Graduation requirements in mathematics must be completed at the Academy of Our Lady of Peace.
