ALL the following sequences
require competency in arithmetic
and basic algebra. Alg. CPT >
55 and Arithmetic CPT > 55
or SAT >500. Any additional
pre-reqs are listed with each
path below.
141, 142
Students who know or even think
they may want to teach
elementary or middle school
should take MAT 141
in the fall and MAT 142
in the spring. This has a MAT
080 pre-req. or Alg. CPT >75.
We teach MAT 080 in summer for
these students to prepare. This
is a fall/spring sequence only.
Students who want to teach
high school English, History,
etc may also find this
sequence enjoyable. It is NOT
for future high school math or
science or business teachers.
161, 162 AND/OR 175, 271
The sciences crowd
(pharmacy, math or high school
math/science teacher, engineering,
science, etc.) and non
WCU business students
probably will need as much of
this series as they can work in.
So, yes, some of their electives
must be math! There is way to
start them directly in trig, pre-calc
or calc, so call a math instructor
to help you through that placement
process.
MAT 080 or Alg. CPT > 75 –
MAT 161 (coll.
alg.- usually offered fall and
spring) – MAT 162
(sometimes offered fall
trig – always in spring)
– MAT 175
(pre-calc - fall only) –
MAT 271 (calc
– spring only)
140/151 OR 161/151
Students in social sciences,
humanities, pre-nursing/health
fields and WCU business
could opt for one of the following
routes:
MAT 070 –
MAT 140 –
MAT 151
MAT 080 or Alg.
CPT > 75 – MAT 161
and MAT 151 (in
either order)
If they have good CPT or SAT scores
that place them out of 080 directly
into stats and coll. alg., that
is probably a better path. They
MAY NOT take MAT 70 – MAT
140 – MAT
161
The Undecided who need
MAT 070 should take:
MAT 70 – MAT 140
– MAT 151
The Undecided who don’t
need MAT 070 but would
need MAT 080 should take:
MAT 140 –
MAT 151
Those who place beyond
MAT 080 can pick courses
based on their interests. If the
SAT or CPTs are high they may
be able to place directly into
trig or pre-calculus for example.
Call math instructors re: direct
placement into 162, 175, 271.
We recommend MAT 161 and
MAT 151 (in either order)
as safe bets for the average undecided
student who does not need MAT
080.
