Students graduating in 2012 or later must complete a total of 17 academic units, consisting of 4 English, 4 mathematics, 4 science, 3 social science and 2 foreign language.
Should I pursue a challenging and rigorous high school curriculum?
Yes, in order to be best prepared for college, students are encouraged to take a challenging and rigorous high school curriculum. Students should consult with their high school counselor and parents to select courses suitable to their ability level in each subject area.
What else do colleges look for in addition to the completion of the high school curriculum?
While the rigor of the high school curriculum is very important, it is not the only factor considered when determining an applicant’s potential to succeed in college and eligibility for admission. The grade point average (GPA) in academic courses and standardized test results (SAT and ACT) are also considered.
Information regarding these requirements can be found online at https://secure.gacollege411.org/College_Planning/Prepare_for_College/Entrance_Requirements/USG_C ollege_Entrance_Requirements/_default.aspx. Some colleges also have additional requirements and admission requirements vary depending on the type of college and space available. Prospective students should check with the admission office for additional information.
I attend a private school or a public high school located outside of Georgia and my high school course titles do not match the course titles utilized by the Georgia Department of Education. How do
I know if my courses will satisfy the USG’s Required High School Curriculum (RHSC)?
The course titles and numbers listed in this document reflect those utilized by the Georgia Department of Education; however, USG colleges and universities will give consideration to similar courses taken by students attending a private school or public high school outside of Georgia. Additional information, such as course descriptions, may be requested by the college/university to help them evaluate a course to determine if it may be used towards satisfying the RHSC.
I will graduate from a Georgia public high school but will have participated in the Georgia
Alternative Assessment. Will I be eligible for admission to a University System of Georgia institution? Students graduating from a Georgia Public High School having participated in the Georgia Alternative
Assessment are not eligible for admission to a University System of Georgia institution.
SCIENCE
I will graduate high school in 2012 or later, how many science classes should I complete?
Students graduating high school in 2012 or later must complete a total of 4 units of science. The four sciences should include two courses with a laboratory component. Students graduating from a Georgia public high school should have at least one unit in biology, one unit of physical science or physics, one unit of chemistry, earth systems, environmental science, or an advanced placement course, and a fourth science from the list of courses found in this document.
My school or school system only offers physical science in the 8th grade, will I be considered deficient if I don’t take it in high school?
Students enrolled in Georgia private high schools and high schools in other states often complete physical science while in the eighth grade and then take three or more additional science units in high school. Consequently, students from private high schools and public high schools in other states can

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS count physical science courses taken in the eighth grade as one of the required four science units.
Georgia public high school students who take high school physical science while in middle school can also count that course provided their high school includes the credit for that high school course on their high school transcript.
I am graduating from a private high school or from an out-of-state public high school. Am I required to have four science courses?
Yes, students graduating from a private high school or an out-of-state public high school are required to complete four science units, including two courses with a laboratory component. At least one course should be from the life sciences and one course should be from the physical sciences.
My high school offers several science course options, each counting as a partial unit, which can count towards satisfying the fourth science unit required for high school graduation. Can courses counting as a partial unit be used to satisfy the fourth science unit of the Required High School
Curriculum (RHSC)?
Yes, students may take a combination of science courses to satisfy the fourth science unit provided the total credit earned equals a full unit.
The science courses offered at my high school include life science and physical science content in each course. Can these courses count towards the four required college preparatory science units?
Yes, provided the total content is equivalent to taking four units of science. The content must be the equivalent of two units with a laboratory component and should include the equivalent of at least one unit from the life sciences and one unit from the physical sciences.
I attend a Georgia public high school so why does my science course not appear on the approved course list found in this document? Does this mean it cannot be used to satisfy the Required High
School Curriculum (RHSC)?
Only those courses approved by the USG faculty review committee are included in this document and can be used to satisfy the RHSC. The list of courses that have not been approved can be found online at www.usg.edu/student_affairs/documents/USG_RHSC_Course_Review.pdf. FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Should I take a foreign language in high school?
While the Georgia Department of Education no longer requires students to complete two years of a foreign language for high school graduation, the University System of Georgia does require the completion of two years of the same foreign language or two years of sign language.
If I have taken a unit of foreign language in middle school, can it count towards satisfying the USG’s
RHSC?
Yes, foreign language units taken in middle school may count towards satisfying the USG’s RHSC.
Students who have taken foreign language in middle school should be sure to submit their transcript showing the credit earned.

Mathematics Support III (or GPS Advanced Algebra Support)
Mathematics III (or GPS Advanced Algebra)
Students should keep in mind that the completion of the above sequence of courses may not prepare them for admission to all University System of Georgia colleges and universities, particularly those with selective admissions. In addition, the above sequence may not be appropriate for STEM majors.
Can Accelerated Mathematics courses count towards satisfying the USG’s Required High School
Curriculum (RHSC) in the area of Mathematics?
Yes, Accelerated Mathematics courses can count towards satisfying the RHSC. Students must complete through Mathematics III or Algebra II (or an equivalent course or higher) and take one additional unit of advanced mathematics from the approved list found in this document.
If I complete an accelerated integrated mathematics course (i.e. Accelerated Mathematics I) one year and an on-level integrated mathematics course (i.e. Mathematics II) the following year, will this count towards satisfying the University System of Georgia’s Required High School Curriculum
(RHSC) in the area of mathematics?
Yes, students who complete an Accelerated Mathematics course one year, and who take an on-level mathematics course the following year, may remain on-track for completing the USG’s RHSC provided they complete four total units of mathematics which includes through Mathematics III or Algebra II (or an equivalent course or higher) and one additional unit from the approved list found in this document. For example, a student completing Accelerated Mathematics I, Mathematics II, Mathematics
III and Mathematics IV would be considered as having completed the USG’s Required High School
Curriculum.
I’ve taken a math course but it does not appear on the list. Does that mean it cannot be used to satisfy the USG’s Required High School Curriculum (RHSC)?
The University System and the Georgia Department of Education work collaboratively to identify courses that may be used to satisfying the USG’s RHSC. Only those courses recommended by the USG faculty review committee are included on the Staying on Course document. The list of courses that have been reviewed but not approved is maintained by the Office of Student Affairs and can be found online at www.usg.edu/student_affairs/documents/USG_RHSC_Course_Review.pdf.

...Department of Chemistry PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORY I Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium in a Ternary System #03 Anas Ahmed Al-Aidaros 200935483 Sec. 01 Instructor: Dr. Joanna Pajak Introduction: Objective Determination of the solubility limits in a ternary system of water and two other liquids, one of which is completely miscible and the other is partly miscible with water. According to the phase rule of Gibbs the variance F (number of degrees of freedom) of a system at equilibrium is equal to the number of components c minus the number of phases p plus 2, provided that the equilibrium is influenced only by temperature, pressure, and concentration. A system with three independent components has F=5-P degrees of freedom. An invariant point in a ternary system therefore contains five different phases in equilibrium with each other. An invariant point can for example consist of a vapor phase, a liquid phase, and three solid phases in equilibrium with each other. A ternary system with three phases (solid-liquid-vapor) in equilibrium with each other has two degrees of freedom. If the temperature is fixed, one degree of freedom remains. A phase diagram isotherm showing a ternary system with a vapor phase and a liquid phase requires therefore a line to mark the concentration range in which a solid phase is in equilibrium with the other two phases. A point needed to mark concentrations where two solid phases are in equilibrium with liquid and vapor. Experimental: Chemical...

Oxygen Transfer in Bioreactors

...oxygen transfer as well as examining the relationship between KLa and other fermenter variables like speed of the impeller and air flow rate, thereby calculating the values α and β in the KLa correlation: KLa = K[Pg/V]α (Vs)β KLa is the volumetric liquid phase mass transfer coefficient indicative of the mass transfer of oxygen dissolved in the liquid to the cell. It is calculated using the dynamic method which is usually used for vessels which are less than 1m in height because there is nitrogen gas hold-up in the vessel when air is reintroduced and the measurement of concentration of oxygen in the liquid does not reflect the kinetics of simple oxygen transfer until a hold-up of air in established. The measured parameters included gassed power (Pg), impeller speed, flow rate (indirectly superficial gas velocity) and DOT%. It was seen that as the power input was increased, the KLa increased for the same flow rate and that this increase was greater than increase in the flow rate of the gas, which shows confirms the results described in the literature. Introduction (326 words) Cells in aerobic cultures require oxygen for metabolism and growth. The rate of oxygen transfer from aerated liquid to the cell is especially important at high cell densities, when cell growth is likely to be limited by the availability of oxygen in the medium. The solubility of oxygen in aqueous solutions at ambient temperature and pressure is only about 10 ppm, (Doran, 1998) which is quickly consumed by...

Oh Ye

...CHARACTERISTICS OF REFRIGERANTS Pure R-12 (CC 1425F425) is colorless. It is odorless in concentrations of less than 20 percent by volume in air. In higher concentrations, its odor resembles that of carbon tetrachloride. It has a boiling point of -21°F at atmospheric pressure. At ordinary temperatures under a pressure of approximately 70 psig to 75 psig, R-12 is liquid. Because of R-12’s low boiling point at atmospheric pressure, you must always protect your eyes from contact with liquid R-12; the liquid will freeze the tissues of the eyes. Always wear goggles if you is to be be exposed to R-12. R-22 (CHC1F425) and R-11(CC1435F) are colorless, nonexclusive, nonpoisonous refrigerants with many properties similar to those of R-12. Because of the similarities between R-22, R-11, and R-12, only R-12 is discussed. Mixtures of R-12 vapor and air, in all proportions, will not irritate your eyes, nose, throat, or lungs. The refrigerant will not contaminate or poison foods or other supplies with which it may come in contact. The vapor’s nonpoisonous. However, if R-12 concentration becomes excessive, it can cause you to become unconscious or cause death because of lack of oxygen to the brain.R-12 is nonflammable and nonexclusive in either liquid or vapor state. R-12 will not corrode the metals commonly used in refrigerating systems.R-12 is a stable compound capable of undergoing the physical changes required of it in refrigeration service...

Boiling Point and Melting Point

...approximately 760 mm Hg; i.e., the weight of a column of mercury measuring 1 mm2 and 760 mm tall. This equates to about 29.7 inches of mercury. If we reduce the pressure above the sample that we are heating, we can reduce the boiling point of the liquid. This is referred to as a vacuum distillation or carrying out a distillation in vacuo. For example, while water boils at 100oC (or 212° F) at 760 mm Hg, it boils around 22oC at 20 mm Hg. The boiling point of a liquid is a physical characteristic of a compound. Many factors go into the estimation of the boiling point of a liquid such as the shape (round, oval, elongated), the mass and most importantly, hydrogen bonding (H-bonding). Methane with a mass of 16 does not engage in H-bonding and is a gas at room temperature while water (mass 18) boils at 100oC. While we can often guess the relative boiling points of a series of compounds, it is rather difficult to calculate a boiling point based on first principals. Similarly,...

Analysis of a Specific Medical Advancement

...Module 6 – Written Assignment – Analysis of a Specific Medical Advancement – Jeffrey Fischbein – 2/11/14 Rocket-Powered Prosthetic Arm We have all heard the cliché “you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone”. For some it can be a materialistic thing as a car or a cellphone. Others are boyfriends or girlfriends that recently broken up. But for some, it can be something much more than that. Something that is more personal to them. To others it can be a limb that was lost from war, an accident, and diseases such as diabetes. We can only imagine on how hard life can be without the use of our hands. Unfortunately it is a brutal reality to others who do live day by day with only one or no arms at all. Prosthetic arms have very limited actions as some don’t bend with just a hook at the end of it. Some of the other more advanced prosthetic arms only bend and move from two places, the elbow and the wrist. With today’s technology increasingly advancing, and with the help of a university professor, the six million dollar man with robotic limbs is not too far from becoming a reality. Professor Michael Goldfarb from University Vanderbilt and his team have developed what looks to be the beginning of new prosthetic arms to be human like and very functional. “The prototype can lift (curl) about 20 to 25 pounds – three to four times more than current commercial arms – and can do so three to four times faster. "That means it has about 10 times as much power as other arms despite...

Distillation

...EXPERIMENT 3 GROUP B AIM: To find the overall efficiency of plate column operating under total reflux, for a binary system (iso-propanol & n- propanol). APPARATUS: * Distillation Column with reboiler * Automatic digital refractometer * Two fluids with different volatilities. PROCEDURE: * Distillation column was filled with the two fluids. * Then we switched on the heater and set the temperature to 126.6 ̊C * And then we allow the system to reach the equilibrium. * The equilibrium was tested by taking out the samples (from reboiler & distillate) at the interval of 10min such that the refractive index hence concentration was made constant. THEORY: Distillation is one of the most common separation techniques used in the chemical and petroleum industries. It is defined as “a process in which a liquid or vapour mixture of two or more substances is separated into its component fractions of desired purity, by the application and removal of heat. Distillation provides the basis for separating numerous substances into valuable components. The components of a mixture are separated based on relative volatilities, which depend on the differences in boiling temperatures of the components making up the mixture. The separation becomes easier as the difference between the relative volatilities increases. The component with the lowest boiling point flows to the top of the column as a vapour, condensed and exits the column as the distillate. A percentage...

...Melanie Mickens February 21, 2014 Statement of Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to determine the freezing temperature of the pure solvent, lauric acid, as well as finding the freezing temperature of a mixture of lauric acid and benzoic acid. Along with that, the freezing point depression of a mixture was to be calculated and along with the molecular weight of benzoic acid. Background: Colligative properties are properties which depend only on the number of solute molecules present in a solution and include freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure. The equation is ∆T=Kf *m Procedure: For part 1, add around 300 mL of tap water with a 20-25 C temperature into a 400 mL beaker, then putting it on the base of the ring stand. Use the utility clamp to get a test tube with the hot, melted lauric acid in it. Put the temperature probe in the lauric acid and secure the utility clamp to the ring stand. Lower the tube into the water making sure the water level outside the test tube is higher than the lauric acid level on the inside. Stir the acid up and down for ten minutes. After the data collection, use a hot water bath to melt the lauric acid enough to remove the temperature probe. Find the freezing temperature by mean temperature on the graph that had a fairly constant temperature. For Part 2, get a test tube that has the melted solution in it. After that, repeat the steps stated above starting at the part...

Methyl Benzoate

...The purpose of this experiment was for the student to be able to perform the dehydrobromination of meso-stilbene dibromide in order to produce an alkyne, diphenylacetalyene. The dehydrobromination of meso-stilbene dibromide requires removal of two hydrogen bromides—in other words, a double elimination. In order for the elimination of the halogen to happen, the hydrogen being attacked and the leaving group need to be on the same plane. More specifically, the molecule has to be in an anti-periplanar orientation in order to have the elimination reaction happen more efficiently. Even though a molecule in a syn-periplanar orientation also has the hydrogen and leaving group in the same plane, the fact that both groups are on the same side makes the molecule sterically hindered. The staggered conformation of the meso-stilbene dibromide is orbitally more favorable than the eclipsed conformation making the anti-periplanar orientation the more favorable orientation for an elimination reaction. Fortunately, the fact that meso-stilbene dibromide had a single bond allowed for this molecule to develop the anti-periplanar orientation by having rotated the bond until the hydrogen and the leaving group were on opposite sides of the molecule. When producing alkynes, there are two steps involved in the reaction: the formation of an intermediate alkene with a vinyl halide followed by the elimination of the halide to result in an alkyne. For the creation of the intermediate vicinal bromide in this...

Matter of Scientists

...Assignment- 6 6.a State of matter Student Name: Urbashi Dewan Student ID: UKDLP 7712 Course Title: IGCSE Combined Science We are all surrounding by a lots of matter. Everywhere we look we can found matter. In science, matter is such a thing that has mass and can takes up space. Generally, matter is not transparent like water. We can also observe matter. From this definition, we can say that matter has some criteria so that we can identify matter as a matter. Matter has four to five states according to scientists. In general they are formed in four categories. These states are as following: 1. Be Condensates 2.Solids 3.Liquids 4.Gases 5.Plasmas These states change one to another by changing their situation. This called physical change and it occurs usually when heat(energy) is either added or taken away. Each of these states also known as a phase. For example; when an ice cube melt by heating it turns in to liquid. Then if we still give heat on melted water it turn in to gases and start to disappeared in the air. By this way, energy transformed the matter in several states. Now, we are going to write down about the main forms of these states in details as below: Solid is one of the state of matter. The properties of solid is depending, how the particle are packed. Solid could be soft or hard. In solids, the particle are closely packed in...
