Human Development Majors in LSOE

You are exempted from the Mathematics Core Curriculum Requirement if you received a score of 4 or higher on either the Calculus AB or BC placement exam, and the result has been recorded on your transcript.

Otherwise, you must complete at least one Mathematics core-level course. The most appropriate courses are found in the following list:

• MT004 Finite Probability and Applications
• MT005 Linear Mathematics
• MT007 Ideas in Mathematics
• MT190 Fundamentals of Mathematics I
• Any Calculus course (MT100 Calculus I or higher)

Note

• Generally, the earlier you take a Math course, the better. We suggest that you complete your Math requirement no later than junior year, unless there's reason to do otherwise.
• On the other hand, core-level courses fill up rather quickly with juniors and sophomores, so you may not have a realistic registration opportunity to take a Math course until sophomore year.
• If you think there's a chance that you may eventually move into Early Childhood or Elementary Education, we recommend that you take MT190 Fundamentals of Mathematics I to complete your Core Curriculum Requirement in Mathematics, since Massachusetts State Certification Guidelines are more easily met with this course.
• Be sure to visit the Calculus area of our website to see if there are Calculus options you'd prefer to taking a core-level Mathematics course. However, if you choose to take a Calculus course, we recommend that you take it in freshman year.
