DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
Timothy Hudson, Department Head
The Department of Mathematics offers credit examinations for Math 161, Math 162, Math
163, and Math 165. Students may take a credit exam for a particular course only once.
For more information on credit exams, students should contact the Department of Mathematics.
In order to graduate with a major in mathematics, a student must have a grade of "C"
or better in all mathematics courses taken.
- A student whose ACT mathematics score is 18 is required to concurrently enroll in
MATH 92 and MATH 105.
- Placement of beginning freshman according to the ACT mathematics score:
-
- MATH 92: ACT mathematics score of 18. (must be taken concurrently with MATH 105).
Credit for MATH 92 does not count toward graduation
- MATH 151: ACT mathematics score of 19 or 20.
- MATH 161: ACT mathematics score of 21 or higher.
- MATH 165: ACT mathematics score of 25 or higher.
- MATH 200: ACT mathematics score of 28 or higher.
- Advanced Placement Policies:
-
- A student whose ACT Mathematics score is 28 or above is eligible to enroll directly
in MATH 162, 163, 165, 177, or 241 depending upon their choice of major. Upon completion
of MATH 162, 163, 165, 177, or 241 with the grade of "C" or better in the first attempt,
the student will receive the grade "P" in MATH 161, with 3 credit hours.
- A student whose ACT Mathematics score is 28 or above is eligible to enroll directly
in MATH 200. Upon completion of MATH 200 with a grade of "C" or better in the first
attempt, the student will receive the grade "P" in MATH 165, with 3 credit hours.
- A student who earns credit in MATH 163, 200, or 241 via the AP Calculus or Statistics
exams will receive the grade of "P" in MATH 161, with 3 credit hours.
- Students who transfer in a mathematics course at the level of trigonometry-based calculus
or above with a grade of "C" or better will receive a grade of "P" for Math 161, with
3 credit hours.
Progression Policy
Students pursuing the degree of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics must meet both
of the following progression standards:
- Students may not repeat any of the following courses more than once: MATH 200, MATH
201, MATH 312, or MATH 223.
- Students must successfully complete MATH 200 with a grade of "C" or better by the
end of the 4th regular semester following the declaration of a major in mathematics.
Students with exceptional circumstances must have an alternative progression plan
approved by the Department Head. Students who do not meet these standards will not
be allowed to continue in the Mathematics major.
