For Students in the Humanities and Many Social Sciences

You are exempted from the Mathematics Core Curriculum Requirement if you received a score of 4 or higher on either the Calculus AB or Calculus BC placement exam, and the result has been recorded on your transcript.

Otherwise, you must complete at least one Mathematics core-level course. Any course found in the following list will satisfy your Math requirement:

• MT004 Finite Probability and Applications
• MT005 Linear Mathematics
• MT007 Ideas in Mathematics
• Any Calculus course - MT100 Calculus I or higher
• CS074 The Digital World: An Introduction to Information and Computing

For those students who are mathematically inclined and/or have a strong mathematical preparation, you are encouraged to consider fulfilling your core math requirement with a Calculus course.

Note

• Generally, the earlier you take a Math course, the better. We suggest that you complete your Math requirement no later than sophomore year, unless there's reason to do otherwise.
• Given current enrollment trends, students in the humanities and certain social sciences may not have a realistic registration opportunity to take a Math course until sophomore year.
• If you choose to take a Calculus course, it is recommended that you complete it in freshman year.
• Be sure to visit the Calculus area of our website to see if there are Calculus options you'd prefer to taking a core-level Mathematics course.
