 Math Sequence

Always check with the school you plan to transfer to before deciding which pathway in mathematics to pursue.

BBCC Suggested Pathways:

Math/Science/Engineering Major: Calculus Series (MATH 151/152) and beyond if possible

Nursing Majors: Statistics (MATH 146)

Business Majors: Business Calculus (MATH 146/147/148)

Liberal Arts Major: At least one of Math in Society (MATH 107), College Algebra (MATH 120), or Statistics (MATH 146) or beyond if possible

Course Notes

All new students are required to take the math placement exam.

MPC 095/099 is equivalent to the parallel pathway MPC 091/092/093.

To meet the perquisite for an MPC course it is required to place by the placement test or pass the final exam from the previous course.

A 2.0 is required in the Math/Science Division for a passing grade.

MATH 163 and MATH 220 are generally taken concurrently.

It is possible to take both Pre-Calculus courses (MATH 141/142) concurrently.
