Math Pathways Matrices
Math Pathways for non-STEM majors(based on Regents Advisory Committee Recommendations |
||
|
1USG institutions cannot require students to take a particular course from among MATH 1001, MATH 1101, and MATH 1111 as long as they are not STEM majors. No matter which of these math courses non-STEM students take, it must count toward satisfying Area A2 requirements and it must count toward graduation. However, students in non-STEM majors should be ADVISED to take the math course most appropriate for their intended majors. Where MATH 1001 or MATH 1101 is the default recommendation for a particular major students with strong math interests and abilities may opt to take MATH 1111, but MOST students should be advised to take MATH 1001 or MATH 1101. |
