Macdonald, Heidi; Zinth, Jennifer Dounay; Pompelia, Sarah
Education Commission of the States
Nearly all states require students to complete a certain number of units per course to earn a standard diploma in the state; but courses, units and assessments outside of exit exams and diploma options vary. This interactive resource provides an overview of state high school graduation requirements. To see how all states approach specific policies, the following hyperlinks to data tables are included: (1) What are the state's course requirements for high school graduation? (2) What are the state's non-course requirements for high school graduation? (3) How many total course units does the state require for high school graduation? and (4) What are the other diploma types offered by the state? A specific state's approach can be viewed by going to the individual state profile page. Key takeaways are also listed.
