Mathematics Proficiency

All candidates for the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree are required to demonstrate minimum proficiency in mathematics by satisfying one of the following criteria:

1. Successful completion, with a grade of C or better, of 21&62:640:103 (Mathematics for the Liberal Arts), 112 or 113 College Algebra, or any more advanced course in mathematics offered by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
2. Satisfactory performance on a proficiency examination administered by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
3. Successful completion, with a grade of C or better, of a college-level, first-term calculus course equivalent to 21&62:640:135 Calculus I, at another institution, or a grade of B or better in a precalculus course equivalent to 21&62:640:114 or 119

Students must meet the mathematics proficiency requirement in a timely manner, as follows:

All entering students who have not otherwise satisfied the proficiency requirement before enrolling (#3 above), must either pass the math proficiency exam before the end of the Add period of their first term of enrollment (#2 above), or enroll in the mathematics course prescribed by the placement standards at the college, and continue to enroll each and every term until the requirement (as described in #1 above) is satisfied.

The mathematics proficiency requirement must be completed satisfactorily before the student achieves senior standing. Students not adhering to these guidelines may be required to carry a reduced credit load and to defer their probable date of graduation.
