You have a degree from CSM and you get a job because they know from the start that you must be good just to get in.
As far as I know they do not do “legacy” admission
To just be considered
*High School Requirements and Criteria for Admission
4 units of English
2 units of algebra
1 unit of geometry
1 unit of advanced mathematics (trigonometry)
3 units of history or social studies
3 units of lab science (1 unit must be chemistry or physics)
2 units of academic electives

Trigonometry is our minimum math requirement; however, you should complete pre-calculus or calculus if you have the opportunity to do so.

You should rank in the upper one-third of your high school class and have strong ACT or SAT scores. We do not require a writing test for admission, but we will accept the SAT with writing or the ACT with or without the optional writing test. We do not have a preference on the SAT or ACT exam. We will use your highest composite score from either test, and we do NOT super score multiple tests

Average (unweighted) GPA 3.8/4.0
Average SAT (Critical Reading and Math) 1300
Average ACT Composite 29
