The University suggests that students satisfy their Group II, Quantitative Reasoning, General Education requirement by the end of their freshman year. Postponing it may avoid trouble later on. In the catalog, mathematics classes such as finite mathematics and calculus list 300-level classes or the equivalent as prerequisites.
Some students see that four credits are given and sign up for the class.
The four credits apply only to Associate in Arts degree students, not four-year baccalaureate degree students. The University will count the credit hours that the student enrolls in towards the total hours for that term. This is important for a student who needs to be registered as a full-time degree candidate. The hours are counted for that term, but do not result in credits counted toward a baccalaureate degree. MATH 420, Finite Math Most students who have had two or more years of college preparatory mathematics in high school will be sufficiently prepared for finite mathematics.
