Course Title  Credit Hours 
MTH 105L Fundamentals of Algebra and Trigonometry Lab 1 or 2
*MTH 106Placement into MTH 106 will be based on ALEKS placement scores.  Students who take MTH 106 in the fall will be placed into a special section of MTH 111 in the spring. Calculus Foundations 3
**MTH 111Most students take MST 111 and MST 105L (1h) concurrently. Calculus with Analytic Geometry I 4
**MTH 112Should take with AP BC Calculus score of 3, 4, or 5,  AP AB Calculus score of 4 or 5, AP AB Calculus sub-score of 4 or 5, or MST 111 credit. Calculus with Analytic Geometry II 4
**MTH 113Should take with AP BC Calculus score of 4 or 5 or MST 112 credit. Multivariable Calculus 4
**MTH 117May take with sufficient background in logic. Good alternative for students with AP BC 4 or 5. Discrete Mathematics 4
**MTH 121May take with sufficient background. Good alternative for students with AP BC 4 or 5. Linear Algebra I 3

**All of these courses carry Division V credit and satisfy the Quantitative Reasoning Requirement; this excludes MTH 105L and MTH 106.

* MTH 106 satisfies the Quantitative Reasoning Requirement.
