Core Objective 2: Quantitative Reasoning


Every student must complete at least 3 units of an approved Core Mathematics course. The ability to apply content from prerequisite courses is critical for student success in subsequent Core mathematics and statistics courses (CO2). Students ability to apply content from Core mathematics courses may degrade significantly over time.  Students whose prerequisite coursework was completed 10 or more years ago should take a placement test before registering for a Core mathematics or statistics course. 

Many majors require specific courses; therefore, students should review the Core Mathematics section in the program description for their major and consult with an academic advisor before selecting a Core Mathematics course(s). All degree-seeking students must be continuously enrolled in appropriate mathematics courses until their Core Mathematics requirement is completed.

Core Mathematics builds a foundation for CO2, and this Core Objective is then developed in the major and integrated into the Capstone Integration & Synthesis course:

  • Core Objective 2: Quantitative Reasoning. Students will be able to apply quantitative reasoning and mathematical analysis methodologies to understand and solve problems.

Depending on placement, students may have to take additional prerequisite courses.
