In response to changes at the state level in transfer degree math requirements, SVC has re-organized our pre-college math curriculum and sequence. Effective summer 2014, MATH 098 is the pre-requisite for MATH& 107 or MATH& 146 . MATH 099 remains the prerequisite for pre-calculus, MATH& 141 and above. Students who complete MATH& 107 or MATH& 146 will need to either place into MATH& 141 or take MATH 099 before enrolling in MATH& 141 (or above). Courses selected to meet the Quantitative Skills requirement will also not be counted in the Natural Sciences distribution requirement.
