1. Determine which classes you are eligible to enroll in

Starting Fall 2022, all students are eligible to take any of the following transfer-level math courses: Math 100, Math 102+, Math 111, Math 134, Math 135, Math 136+, and Math 138. However, you may be eligible to take a more advanced math course. Please check your math placement in MyGCC.

If you would like additional support with your math course, please consider one of GCC's free Adult Basic Education Courses (ABSE). These free noncredit courses include ABSE 121 Basic Algebra Review and ABSE 122 Basic Statistics Review. For more information about these courses please click on this flyer.

2. Figure out your math pathway

Once you know which math courses you are eligible to start with, you need to identify your educational goal. We offer different math pathways depending on which level of math you need to reach based on your major and academic goals.

To determine which path best fits your needs, please consider the follow:

• Are you planning to major in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and you will need to take Calculus and beyond? If yes, then Path #1 (STEM -Calculus) will fit your needs.
• Are you planning on majoring in a STEM field that does not require Calculus? If yes, then Path #2 (STEM - College Algebra) will likely fit your goals.
• Are you a Business majors? If yes, you will want to consider Path #3 (Business) for your math path.
• Are you planning to major in a subject area that requires Statistics? If yes, then Path #4 (SLAM - Statistics) will fit your needs.
• Are you transferring to a four-year university that only requires that you fulfill a general math requirement? Are you planning on earning an Associate Degree or Certificate at GCC that only requires that you fulfill a general math requirement? If yes to either of these questions, then one of the Statistics and Liberal Arts Math (SLAM) paths is most likely a good fit. Please explore Path #4, Path #5, and Path #6 below to determine which path works best for you.

Please click on the paths below for additional information.

Path #1 STEM - Calculus

Path #2 STEM - College Algebra

Path #3 Business

Path #4 SLAM - Statistics

Path #5 SLAM - Quantitative Reasoning

Path #6 SLAM - Educator

If you are uncertain which math pathway is best for you, please make an appointment with a counselor. For information about all available math courses, please see the GCC College Catalog or click on one of the math sequence charts below.

In addition, please visit GCC's Learning & Professional Pathways (LPP) webpage to help determine which pathway fits your educational goals and objective.
