(AP) -- Michigan is expanding its options for meeting the math requirements needed for high school graduation.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm announced Thursday she signed a bill that would allow a financial literacy course to count as an option toward meeting graduation requirements.
The bill also allows students to complete Algebra II over a two-year period with each year counting as a credit.
Michigan's high school graduation requirements start with the graduating class of 2011. Four math credits are among the several requirements students must meet to get a diploma.
