DCC students who are uncertain of what academic program of study they will pursue at a four-year college or university and are uncertain as to which senior institution they will eventually transfer, are advised to enroll in MAT 110, College Algebra (or a higher level math course). MAT 110 (or higher) will meet the General Education requirement in mathematics for the majority of four-year colleges and universities across the country.

The following information includes recommended DCC courses that satisfy General Education requirements in mathematics at selected four-year colleges and universities for specific programs of study:

MAT 109, Survey of Mathematics (or higher):

Recommended for majors such as Art/Art Education, Adolescent Education (other than Math and Science), Communications, English, History, Foreign Language, Philosophy, Sociology, Theatre Arts, and Women Studies.

MAT 118 Elementary Statistics:

Recommended for majors such as Geography, Political Science, Psychology, and Nursing.

MAT 110 College Algebra (or higher):

Recommended for majors such as Accounting, Business Administration, Computer Science, Adolescent Education (Math and Science), Geology, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.

MAT 107 Math for Elementary Teachers:

Recommended for Childhood Education 1-6 and Early Childhood B-2

MAT 109 or higher:

Recommended for majors such as Art, Communications, English, History, Fashion Design/Merchandising, Foreign Language, Adolescent Education (not Math or Science).

MAT 118:

DCC students who plan to apply to Cornell are advised to enroll in MAT 115, Pre-Calculus, or a higher-level mathematics course. MAT 221, Calculus & Analytic Geometry I (or a higher level, depending on the students intended program of study) is strongly recommended.

MAT 109, MAT 118, MAT 110 and all courses listed in appendix A of the current DCC catalog will satisfy the SUNY-Mandated General Education requirement in mathematics at Binghamton. *Recommended DCC math courses will depend on the students intended program of study. (Contact SSB 301 for further information.)

*In addition to Math courses that satisfy General Education requirements at the various four-year institutions, some academic majors will require additional math courses.
