SPRING 2019 Math 092C and Math 173C Courses: Complete College Algebra Requirement in ONE SEMESTER!

Dear Students,

I want to make you aware of two linked courses that are being offered during Spring 2019 called Math 092C and Math 173C. These are newer courses that the math department is offering for students who meet the following criteria:

(1) plan to take Math 092 in the spring AND
(2) are science, math, or business majors AND

(3) have the time, work-ethic, and determination to be successful in both courses.

Successfully completing Math 092C and Math 173C in the spring will allow you to complete your college algebra requirement in ONE semester. That is, instead of taking Math 092 in the spring and then taking Math 173 during a later semester, you can take both Math 092C and Math 173C courses in the spring. 

The attachment contains additional information about Math 092C and 173C that I encourage you to review.

If you are interested in taking these courses in the spring please contact me as soon as possible. I want to make sure you have all the information that you need and that you feel these courses are the right fit for you.

It is critical that you register now if you are interested so that we can make sure the courses run in the spring!

Thank you!

-Sarah
