Last update: October 20, 2011

Overview of changes: Math 102 (College Algebra) split into Math 102 (College Algebra) and Math 104A (Precalculus: Algebra). Math 103 (Trigonometry) replaced by Math 104B (Precalculus: Trigonometry). New biology/microbiology math sequence introduced: Math 105/204/205. Get more information from the University Catalog... Go to the University Academic Advisment Center...

1. Students planning to take calculus in the Math 206-209 sequence should take Math 104A and 104B. Math 104A (Precalculus: Algebra)- Prerequisite: Math 91 (with C or above), a score of 50 or more on (or exemption from) the ELM exam. Math 104B (Precalculus: Trigonometry)- Corequisite: Math 104A (with C or above). Math 104A and Math 104B may be taken in the same quarter. Math 206-209 (Calculus I-IIII)- Prerequisite: Math 104A and Math 104B (with C or above) To register in Math 104A, 104B or 206, you must have completed all prerequisites within the past year. Otherwise, you will need to take the corresponding exit exam. Exit exams for Math 91, 104A and 104B are available at the University Testing Center. More on exit exams... What if I passed Math 102/103 already? What about GE requirements? Programs requiring Math 206-209

2. Students in the BS in Biology and BS in Microbiology programs should take Math 104A and Math 105 as prerequisites for the Math 204/205 applied calculus sequence. Math 104A (Precalculus: Algebra)- Prerequisite: Math 91 (with C or above), a score of 50 or more on (or exemption from) the ELM exam. Math 105 (Introduction to Mathematical Models in Biology)- Prerequisite: Math 104A (with C or above). Math 204/205 (Applied Calculus I/II)- Prerequisite: Math 105 (with C or above). The BS in Biology program requires both Math 204 and Math 205. The BS in Microbiology program requires only Math 204. To register in Math 104A or 105, you must have completed all prerequisites within the past year. Otherwise, you will need to take the corresponding exit exam. Exit exams for Math 91, 104A and 105 are available at the University Testing Center. More on exit exams... What if I passed Math 102/103 already? What about GE requirements?

3. Students in the BA in Economics, BS in Food Science and Technology, and BS in Industrial Technology (Industry Track) programs should take Math 104A as a prerequisite for Math 242. Math 104A (Precalculus: Algebra)- Prerequisite: Math 91 (with C or above), a score of 50 or more on (or exemption from) the ELM exam. Math 242 (Mathematics for Business and Economics Majors)- Prerequisite: Math 102 or Math 104A (with C or above). The BS in Food Science and Technology also requires Math/Econ 109. The BA in Economics program allows Math 206 in place of Math 242. To register in Math 104A or 242, you must have completed all prerequisites within the past year. Otherwise, you will need to take the corresponding exit exam. Exit exams for Math 91 and Math 104A are available at the University Testing Center. More on exit exams...

4. Most other students should take Math 100, 102 or 109 to fulfill GE Block 4A. Getting C or above in any one of Math 100 (Introduction to College Mathematics), Math 102 (College Algebra) or Math 109 (Quantitative Reasoning with Statistics) satisfies the General Education Block 4A (Mathematical Concepts and Quantitative Reasoning) requirement. Some degree programs require a particular one of these GE Math courses. Some other courses require a particular one of these GE Math courses. The prerequisite for all of these courses is Math 91 (with C or above) or a score of 50 or above on (or exemption from) the ELM exam. You must have completed the prerequisite within the past year. Otherwise, you will need to take the Math 91 exit exam at the University Testing Center. More on exit exams... Math 109 is crosslisted as Econ 109. The BA/BS in Geography programs may be modified soon. Check with a Geosciences and Environment department advisor before choosing a GE math course. More on the General Education program... Exceptions: BS in Industrial Technology BS in Exercise Science BA in Liberal Studies (Depth Area in Mathematics) BA in Child Development, Liberal Studies, Mexican-American Studies and Urban Learning (Teaching Credential Programs)
