1 May substitute any higher-level math with the exception of MTH 240 and 241 as they duplicate much of the content of MTH 157. Check institution to which you plan to transfer to be sure the math courses you wish to substitute will transfer. Note that sometimes math courses transfer, but do not meet an institution’s general education requirements.
2 Students planning to transfer to GMU should take ENG 125. Students planning to attend most other institutions should take ENG 112. Check institution to which you plan to transfer.
3 Students may substitute CHM 101-102 Introductory Chemistry I-II or CHM 111-112 General Chemistry I-II if they also meet the mathematics prerequisites for these courses.
