MATHEMATICS COURSES 

Please note these important guidelines:
• 4 credits of math are required for graduation, 1 needs to be an Algebra 2 Equivalent
• Prerequisites may only be waived with the permission of department chairperson.
• Policy on Calculators: All students in honors program are required to have a graphing calculator. Any course with the (GC) designation requires a TI 83 or TI 84 graphing calculator. A limited number of graphing calculators are available to rent from the mathematics department.
