There are two math courses, MAT 050 & MAT 055, that prepare students to enter into college-level math upon successful completion. Each math class prepares students for different types of degrees -- liberal arts or STEM --, so be sure to talk with an advisor prior to registration.

MAT 050
This course (4 credit hours) centers on quantitative reasoning and seeks to develop number sense, algebraic thinking, and critical thinking skills while connecting mathematics to real world applications. The focus is on conceptual understanding and application.
Great for students who:
- Want to take math for Liberal Arts (MAT 120)
- Want to take Statistics (MAT 135), Integrated Math (MAT 155/156) and college level career math courses (MAT 103, 107, 108)
MAT 055
This course (4 credit hours) focuses on algebraic reasoning and seeks to develop solid algebraic skill in formal mathematics. The learning outcomes include algebraic skill, conceptual understanding, and application.
Great for students who:
- Want to take College Algebra (MAT 121) and the Calculus sequence (MAT 125, 166, 201, 202, 204)
- Need MAT 121 for specific Degrees with Designation or who need some level of Calculus for a STEM degree
