See the First Year
Math web pages for more information on these courses.
Notes
- Courses marked MA satisfy the University General
Studies MA requirement. These very same courses satisfy the
University Basic Competency Requirements (which in turn can be
satisfied as part of the adimission process).
- College math requirements vary.
- In CLAS, the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences, students must pass a course
marked MA above, or a more advanced mathematics
course.
- Students preparing for admission to the College of Business
need to take MAT 210 and MAT 211 (MAT 210 is a prerequisite for MAT
211,Mathematical Analysis for business)
- For other colleges within the university, consult the
General Catalog or an advisor to see what your college
math requirements are.
- Math requirements for different majors vary by a
considerable amount. Consult the General Catalog or meet with
an adivsor for your major for details.
- The courses "Beginning Algebra" and "Intermediate Algebra"
are frequently titled "Algebra 1" and "Algebra 2" in Arizona high
schools.
- "Advanced Algebra" is sometimes called "Pre-Calculus Math."
Notice
It is important to talk to a departmental advisor in your major field
if:
- you have not taken any math courses in the last year or have math
anxiety.
- you have a question regarding your readiness for a particular
course.
