Q: I took MATH 1300, MATH 2300, and MATH 2400 instead of the APPM series before I transferred to ChBE.  Do these courses replace the APPM Calculus series?  Do all 5 credit hours from each of these courses apply to the 128 credit hours required for my B.S. degree?

A: Yes, the MATH Calculus 1 through 3 courses are equivalent to the APPM Calculus series.  However, since most students take the 4-credit-hour APPM courses, you cannot arbitrarily increase your calculus credit hours and reduce the other requirements of your curriculum by taking the MATH courses. Only 4 of the 5 credit hours from each of the MATH Calculus courses will apply to your 128 credit hour requirement, although your transcript will reflect the 5-credit-hour course and your GPA will be calculated using 5 credit hours.

 

 Q: Do APPM 1340 and APPM 1345 count as a replacement for APPM 1350?

A: Yes, APPM 1340 and APPM 1345 together satisfy the requirements for APPM 1350.  It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that a student who has taken these two courses as a freshman take APPM 1360 over the summer after his/her sophomore year in order to catch up on their math (APPM 1360 is usually taken during the student's freshman Spring semester).  Otherwise, the student will fall behind and will NOT be able to graduate in the standard 4 years.
