Mathematics and Critical Reasoning
Mathematics and Critical Reasoning
Students pursuing the B.A. or B.S. in the College of Arts and Sciences must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 3 credit hours in mathematics, computer sciences or logic. Entering freshmen are placed in mathematics coursework based on a mathematics placement test, their ACT math scores and their mathematics coursework in high school. The courses that may be taken to fulfill this requirement are listed under the individual degree requirements. In addition, many programs require that students complete a sequence of courses in mathematics. Because the various introductory mathematics sequences overlap somewhat in content, and because specific programs require specific sequences, students should carefully examine their program requirements before enrolling in mathematics. Arts and sciences students are referred to the college General Requirements for each degree for restrictions on the applicability of MATH 14001 and 14002 toward this requirement.
Students with previous credit in mathematics earned at another institution, through CLEP or through the Advanced Placement Program, may enter the next higher mathematics course in the sequence required in their majors.
In some cases, students may be given a mathematics placement examination upon entering the university. Students may not receive credit for a prior course in any mathematics sequence to one which has already been completed satisfactorily.
Further information about appropriate entry courses may be obtained from the Department of Mathematical Sciences in Room 233 in the Mathematical Sciences Building, 330-672-2430.
