Associate in Arts Degree - Statistics Course Sequence - Placement 2
This course sequence is for students:
- who are pursuing an AA degree -AND-
- who are planning to transfer to a four year university that requires a statistics course for the studentβs planned major -AND-
- who have been placed into MAT 096 -OR-
- who received Cs in their final math class in high school -OR-
- who have not taken a math class in 5 or more years but use math on a somewhat regular basis.
Because MAT 098 can be taken as a prerequisite (before) or a corequisite (at the same time) as 141 there are two options for this course sequence.
Option 1: MAT 098 as a prerequisite to MAT 141
| Semester | Course (s) | Credit Hours |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | MAT 098 General Education Math Support | 3 credit hours |
| 2nd | MAT 141 General Education Math | 4 credit hours |
Option 2: MAT 098 as a corequisite to MAT 141
| Semester | Course (s) | Credit Hours |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | MAT 098 General Education Math Support AND MAT 141 General Education Math | 3 credit hours/4 credit hours |
