Advanced Placement
Prospective students are encouraged to qualify for advanced placement by taking the Advanced Placement Examination in Mathematics. A student who scores either four or five on the Calculus BC examination may omit MATH-035-036 and take MATH-137 as a first-year student. In this case the student is awarded eight semester hours credit. A student who scores four or five on the Calculus AB examination may omit MATH-035 and is awarded four hours credit. Students who have not received credit or advanced placement by means of these examinations, but who believe that their preparation in high school is substantially equivalent to MATH-035-036, may petition the Chair for advanced placement. In such cases the Department will administer an examination to determine if such placement is warranted. The examination will be administered during the registration period at the beginning of the fall term. Further information may be obtained from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics or from the office of the Dean of the College. See page 8 of this Bulletin for information about advanced placement in statistics.
