Upper-Division Writing Requirement

Notes

1. Alternate Mathematics Sequences The following alternate sequences may be substituted for major requirements or prerequisites: MAT 125 (or MAT 130 /MAT 125 ), MAT 126 , MAT 127 or MAT 141, MAT 142 or MAT 171 or AMS 151 , AMS 161 for MAT 131 , MAT 132 ; AMS 210 or MAT 211 for MAT 203 . Equivalency for MAT courses as indicated by earning the appropriate score on a placement examination will be accepted as fulfillment of the requirement without the necessity of substituting other credits.
