All students are required to take one course in Mathematics beyond what is considered high school mathematics (NYS Regents Course B or equivalent). All courses that meet the Math requirement have prerequisite of MPL 3 or higher. A student with Math Placement Level 1 or 2 (or 3 if in the Math/Science Track) will be required to take a preparatory course before taking a course to meet the requirement.
Preparatory Courses:
Math/Science Track
Students intending to pursue majors in Math, Science, Computer Science, Engineering, or Business that need a preparatory course should take:
| If your MPL is: | Take | Course # |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | College Algebra with Supp. Workshop or | MAT152 (designated sections) + MAT093 |
| 2 or 3 | College Algebra | MAT152 |
(A C- in either of these courses will give an MPL 4)
Non-Math Track
Students intending to pursue majors in the Arts and Humanities that need a preparatory course may opt to take College Mathematics (64151) instead of College Algebra.
(A C- in College Math will give an MPL 3)
Courses that meet the MATH GE III requirement:
| Prerequisite MPL | ||
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Graphs and Optimization | MAT182 |
| 3 | Intro to Math Modeling |
MAT183 |
| 3 | Elements of Geometry | MAT184 |
