All students, regardless of what their major field of study is, are required to demonstrate competence in basic mathematics (arithmetic and algebra) by passing the Mathematics Proficiency Test. Successful completion of both the arithmetic and algebra portions of the Mathematics Proficiency Test is required as a prerequisite for all courses in Business Administration, Economics, Mathematics and Statistics, with the exception of BUA 1101 and BUA 1151 for which passing of the arithmetic portion is sufficient. The tests are administered at the beginning and at the end of each semester.
Those failing to pass either part of the test will be referred to the Mathematics Workshop courses (Arithmetic MAT 1001; Basic Algebra MAT 1002) to improve their skills. The Pass/Fail non-credit Mathematics Workshops serve either as a preparation for taking and passing the Mathematics Proficiency Test or as an alternative method for demonstrating competency in these subjects by performing at a satisfactory level during the semester-long workshops.
Students who have taken college level mathematics courses comparable to MAT 1106 (Finite Mathematics) and MAT 1107 (College Algebra), or MAT 1117 (Calculus I) prior to enrollment at the College, will have satisfied the mathematics proficiency requirement.
