It’s a math class, which FSU counts as a core class. Just because you took it in high school as an elective doesn’t mean it gets counted as one at FSU.



Required High School Course Units

The units listed below represent the minimum required for admission consideration:

4 units of English, at least three with substantial writing requirements
4 units of mathematics at the Algebra I level and higher
3 units of natural science, at least two with laboratory experience
3 units of social science
2 sequential units of the same foreign language or American Sign Language
2 elective units, preferably from the English, mathematics, natural science, social science, or foreign language areas

Satisfying these minimum required units does not guarantee admission.
The typical student accepted to Florida State has 4.5 units of English, 5 units of math, 4.5 units of natural science, 4.5 units of social science, and 3.5 units of foreign language.






And even if you don’t have to take Calculus as a sociology major, it’s still factored in. Taking courses that are college-prep level is something FSU looks at heavily- academic course rigor is one of the biggest factors FSU takes into consideration when you apply. It gives FSU an idea if you’re ready to tackle college course rigor or not.

I’m not saying that it’s definitively going to keep you out… If you have much better grades this year than last year you’re likely to get accepted.
