Greetings,

It was brought to my attention that advisors are recommending MAT 1033 for students changing to PRB.

Please do not recommend MAT 1033 to students changing to PRB. ****the MAT 1033 for fall 18 is reserved for students in the 2017/2018 catalog that did not pass the MAT 1033 previously.

The two new math courses are MAT 1053 Mathematics for Business, and MAT 1133 Calculus for Business. MAT 1133 is the Gateway course.

If the student transfers in MAT 1214 Calculus then the student is considered complete in both MAT 1053 and MAT 1133.

If the student transfers in MAT 1023, MAT 1073 with a C- or better the student may register in MAT 1133.

Course descriptions:

MAT 1053. Mathematics for Business. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours. (TCCN =MATH 1324)

Prerequisite: Satisfactory performance on a placement examination. This course is designed to prepare the student for MAT 1133 Calculus for Business.
