You do? Is this a recent thing? I never had anything above Algebra II in high school, never even had Geometry. The highest Math course I had to take in College was Statistics which was way easier than Algebra. I didn't even have to take any higher level Math in Grad school. If you are a MATH related major in college you have to have those high level Math classes. If you are a non Math related major you only need to take the basic Math courses required and take the high level courses in your subject area. I was a Psychology major with a double minor in Sociology and History. Math was an almost non existent part of the coursework related to my field....which was one of the reasons I chose that field.
In the CA system you can't take Statistics until you pass Algebra 2. That's how they get you: with prerequisites. And it sucks too, because I think quite a few people drop out of college here because they can't handle higher math. Which, again, they're NEVER GOING TO USE EVER IN LIFE EXCEPT TO PASS THAT CLASS.
