The following guidelines describe the courses and placement exams required for completion of the MTH component of the general education requirements for a business degree.
- All incoming business students will take the General Education Math Placement Exam upon arrival. Students with passing scores may enroll directly in MTH 14100 Basic Statistics, a required course for all business students.
- To fulfill additional general education requirements, students seeking a BS will need to take one or more additional placement exams. Students seeking placement into MTH 15100 College Algebra should enroll in MTH 14100 during their first term and take the College Algebra Placement Exam during that term to determine eligibility for placement in MTH 15100 College Algebra.
- Students seeking placement into MTH 15200 Precalculus, MTH 17300 Survey of Calculus, MTH 17500 Business Calculus, or MTH 24100 Statistics for Natural Sciences must pass the Precalculus Placement Exam; students seeking placement into MTH 27100 Calculus I must pass the Calculus Placement Exam. (Note that MTH 17500 has MTH 15100 College Algebra as a prerequisite. Placing into MTH 17500 without College Algebra credit is only possible for those students who had calculus in high school. Such students should take the Precalculus Placement Exam to determine eligibility for MTH 17500 Business Calculus and Applications.)
- The PSBE recommends that students enroll in MTH 27100 Calculus I if they pass the Calculus Placement Exam, in MTH 17500 Business Calculus and Applications if they pass the Precalculus Placement Exam, and in MTH 15100 College Algebra if they pass the College Algebra Placement Exam.
Note: In addition to the MTH courses listed above, business students must complete the following University general education requirements: (1) for a BA, two cross cultural GE courses or (2) for a BS, two natural science GE courses, one of which must include a lab and three math courses.
