Descriptions and credit recommendations for all evaluated learning experiences

Length:

Varies; self-study.

Dates:

September 2018 - Present.

Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: apply equations and inequalities, functions and graphs; polynomial and rational functions; exponential and logarithmic functions; and use systems of equations and inequalities, matrices and determinants, conic sections, sequences, induction, and probability

Instruction:

This 15-week course is comprised of study guides, required texts, quizzes and a final examination. Instruction includes a general introduction to algebra and includes topics such as equations, functions, graphs, exponential functions, and logarithms. Emphasis is placed equally on answering equations correctly and on applying various approaches and theories to solve equations. 

Credit recommendation:

In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in Algebra, Mathematics, or as a general elective (8/18) (9/23 revalidation). 

Length:

Varies; self-study. 

Dates:

September 2018 - Present. 

Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: define, describe and apply the following fundamental mathematical concepts effectively, including: set of numbers, absolute value, exponential, radical, algebraic, linear, quadratic, and logarithmic expressions; cartesian coordinate system; percentage; simple and compound interest; present and future value; SI unit system; linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions; inequality; relation and function; domain and range; polynomial; complex number; mathematical set; mathematical logic; polygon; angle; statistics; data; mode, mean and, median; variance; standard deviation; normal distribution; probability; event; communicate equations and functions either in a verbal or algebraic way, using mathematical terms correctly; and recognize an equation, a relation and a function by their general characteristics.

Instruction:

College Mathematics is a mathematics course designed for non-mathematics majors. It includes introductions to basic precalculus math, including functions, sets, values and mathematical logic. 

Credit recommendation:

In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in Mathematics or as a general elective (6/19) (3/24 revalidation). 

Length:

Varies; self- study.

Dates:

September 2018 – Present.

Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to identify and quantify line and angle relationships, parallel lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and locus and concurrence.

Instruction:

Introduction to Geometry is a 15-week course that uses a textbook and study guide to teach students college-level geometry. There is also a practice exam available for student use. The final examination determines students' grades in the course. 

Credit recommendation:

In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in Geometry, Mathematics, or as a general elective (8/18) (9/23 revalidation). 

Length:

Varies; self-study.

Dates:

September 2018 – Present.

Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: apply descriptive statistics such as measures of central tendency, variability and association between two variables; compute the expected value and variance of any random variable; and use discrete and continuous probability distributions for business and economic problems.

Instruction:

This course introduces statistical analysis methods commonly used for managerial decision-making and is designed to equip managers with the skills to make effective use of data in the workplace, to develop expertise in a standard set of statistical and graphical techniques useful in analyzing data. These techniques are widely applied in a number of areas of management, including operations management, marketing, finance and economics. Topics include techniques used for collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data.

Credit recommendation:

In the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in Mathematics or Statistics (8/18) (9/23 revalidation).
