6 for science- A Bio class and either a Fundamental Chem or elective

6 for English- Usually composition

3 for speech- Any speech class

6 for humanities

These are just basic general education requirements needed for graduation. The actual number of required classes per subject area will be based on your Major.

If you are going for a major like business then 2 yrs is enough as long as you have taken some geometry, trigonometry, and algebra. And 2 yrs of science is ok.

As for social sciences and English, almost every state has requirements that more than cover for what you need for any major in college.
