Which math course should you take?

The math you take at NOVA depends on your program of study, your preparedness, and whether you have started your math coursework already at NOVA.

If you have not yet taken any math at NOVA, you should consult the College Catalog. If you need assistance, our advisors are here to help!

If you have already started MTT, we encourage you to complete the units you need this spring and summer. Depending on what units you have completed and your program of study, you may be advised to take MDE 10 or 60. You may be permitted to take MTH 154 with (or without) the MDE 54 support course. You may be permitted to take MTH 161 with (or without) the MDE 61 support course. Consult the "Course Crosswalk" for details. If you need assistance, our advisors are here to help!
