Match Your Placement Level to Your Major Requirements
After you take the Math Placement Test, you will receive your Math Placement Level (1 to 5).
Using the sections below:
- Match your Placement Level
- Find your major* in the corresponding table
In the row for your major, you will see:
- the course you need to take to fulfill your major requirement, and
- a strongly suggested sequence of courses that will help you fulfill your requirement in the most efficient manner.
Based on your math placement level, you must take a co-requisite course, MA 106, MA 109, or MA 169, to give you more support in mathematics. The extra class time allows for more contact with the professor, and more feedback and discussion with peers. Refer to the chart below for the math requirement and course sequencing information specific to your major.
*If you have not yet declared your major, follow the advice of what you consider to be your most likely major at this point; it might be wise to postpone your decision to the spring of your first year.
Level 1
Your math placement level is based on the grades you earned in your high school math courses, your math score on the SAT, and your performance on the math placement test. Refer to the chart below for the math requirement and course sequencing information specific to your major.
Based on a math placement level of 1, you must take a co-requisite course, MA 106, MA 109, or MA 169 to you more support in mathematics. The extra class time allows for more contact with the professor and more feedback and discussion with peers.

MA 109 and MA 110 (Spring First Year) MA 110 does not prepare you for further study in math. If you plan to complete additional coursework in math you should take MA 107 and MA 106 instead of MA 110 and MA 109. Sociology, Health, Medicine, & Society, and Justice & Community Engagement should take MA 110. Should you take MA 206 after MA 110, MA 206 will replace your major requirement of SO 382/GT 382. If there is a possibility that you will change your major to business or minor in business, you should take MA 169, MA 170 instead of MA 110. If you might change to a major in a science, see the requirements below. |

Important Information
- Alternative course plans: Deviations from the plan below are possible. Make sure you consult with your adviser or department chair before doing so.
- If you wish to know more about math courses and math placement, please email Lisa Hollman.
- If you wish to know more about majoring or minoring in mathematics, please e-mail Jill Shahverdian.
- Summer course offerings: Many of the courses listed below (MA 107, MA 110, MA 140, MA 141, MA 151, MA 170, MA 275) are also taught during summer sessions.
- Online course offerings: MA 107, MA 110, MA 140, MA 170, and MA 275 are available online.
- Co-requisite requirements: MA 106 is a co-requisite course for MA 107, MA 109 is a co-requisite course for MA 110, and MA 169 is a co-requisite course for MA 170. You will need to take both courses at the same time if you received a placement level of a 1 and have the option to do it with a placement level of a 2, if you feel you can benefit from more support in mathematics.
