Important Points

To complete the program in two years, students must begin in a fall semester at the appropriate levels of math.

  • *CSC 1310-1330 are 5-week courses that represent a time commitment of 15 weeks equivalent to a full three credit hour course.
  • With the appropriate mathematical background students may elect to take MAT 1600 and/or MAT 1710.
  • Students with appropriate background may opt for PHY 1610 or PHY 1710.
  • Students who plan to transfer should consider taking this course to prepare them for their transfer institution.
  • MAT 1220 and MAT 1590 have a prerequisite of MAT 0600 or two years of high school algebra/geometry and placement exam.
