requirement
If you are a B.A., B.F.A. or B.S.
student & need to satisfy your Mathematics Proficiency requirement,
the information below will help you identify a course that you can take.
B.A.
& B.F.A. students
If you scored a 4 or 5 on the
AB or BC Advanced Placement (AP) exam, congratulations, you've already
satisfied you math requirement.
If this is not the case, you'll
need to take one course in mathematics. Use the chart
below to help figure out which class is best for you.
| Course |
|
| Math
111 Probability and Statistics I
|
Prerequisite:
high school algebra. This class serves as an introductory statistics
course with no Calculus |
| Math

If you’re a Bachelor
of Science student, you’ll need six math credits (2 courses). Use
the chart to figure out AP credit (if any) that you can use for the requirement.

I don't
have any AP credits
If this is the case, then
you must satisfy 2 course credits in one of the following ways:
1.
If you want to take Calculus I over 2 semesters you must take
the following courses:
-
Math
115 & Math 116 (Long Calculus) This is a slower version
of Math 121(Calculus I) so it only counts as one course towards
your requirement even though it lasts 2 semesters. Note:
Math 115 alone does not count towards your math requirement.
However, taken with Math 116, together they count for one course.
-
Math
122 (Calculus II)
2.
If you want to finish Calculus I in 1semester you must take the
following:
- Math 121 (Calculus
I)
- & Math 122
(Calculus II)
I have
AP credit for Math 121 (Calculus I)
You should take Math 122 (Calculus
II).
