| 1 Students are tested for math placement during summer orientation. On the basis of these tests and their high school background it will be recommended that some students take Option II, especially if they expect to pursue graduate studies. The majority of students will be placed in Option I, and may also be required to take MATH 106: Quantitative Methods I as a prerequisite to taking MATH 107. |
2 If EDUC 113 is required in the first
semester, it is taken in place of a humanities elective and is counted as a GE
free elective. One GE free elective in the fourth year must then be taken as a
humanities elective.
3 If a third math course is required, it
replaces this GE elective. |
