How much math do I need for college?

Convert to clicker page with same question.

A 4-year degree is an Education in 2 Acts

Roughly 2 years of General Education Requirements; Social Studies, English, Science…Math.

Roughly 2 years of specialized study in your chosen field.

A 2-year academic degree (from a community college) is designed to meet the first criteria.

Cleaned up page in an attempt to make it more readable.

If you’re going to college, thinking about going to college, or lack the ability to predict the future with absolute certainty, stay in math.

Four-year colleges focus more on high school preparation, but may also give you a math placement exam to see what you know and make you take a math/quantitative course at college.

Condensed the school data so that individual districts are no longer shown and combined slides on placement rates and success rates. My notes show that Pete might want to switch this to a clicker slide.

Do you have to take College-level math to get a degree?

No. Many 2-year applied degrees do not require college level math.
