Prerequisite and Corequisite Math

Prerequisite and corequisite Math provides students with the math skills required for success in a variety of curriculum courses, including math, science, culinary and trade courses, to name a few.

The math courses are broken into two categories: prerequisite and corequisite. Students needing MAT 003 take a one-semester prerequisite course that helps prepare them for their gateway-level math course.

Students who are eligible to take their gateway-level math course with a support class are taking a corequisite course at the same time. The course pairings that are taken together are:

• MAT 010 and MAT 110
• MAT 021 and MAT 121
• MAT 043 and MAT 143
• MAT 052 and MAT 152
• MAT 071 and MAT 171
