Where to Begin in the Mathematics Courses?

Students must begin at the proper level and in the proper track in mathematics. Students who lack college level credit in mathematics should take the placement exam at least 48 hours prior to registering for a mathematics course. Students must register online to take the test. Times and days of the test as well as registration information are available at the department website.

Note 1: To Avoid Duplication:

  1. Credit for both MA 112 and MA 115 is not allowed.
  2. Credit for both MA 113 and MA 115 is not allowed.
  3. Credit for both MA 120 and MA 125 is not allowed.
  4. Students may receive credit for only one of the following: ST 310, ST 315 or ST 320.

Note 2: MA 110 is not a pre-requisite course for any other course required by mathematics and statistics major.
