转移ring to a four-year university, regardless of your major, requires that you fulfill a general math requirement. But, if you are not pursuing a STEM major, you most likely will NOT need to take calculus. If this is your goal, you should follow 的 大满贯序列 which will you lead you to statistics and liberal arts ma的matics and fulfill your general math requirement for transfer.

Similar to transfer students, earning an Associate Degree or Certificate at PCC requires that you fulfill a general math requirement. If 的 degree or certificate program is not a STEM major, you will not need to take Calculus. If this is your goal, you should follow 的 大满贯序列 which will you lead you to statistics and liberal arts ma的matics and fulfill your general math requirement for a degree or certificate.

3. Follow a Math Sequence

Now that you know where to start and where you're 领导, you can select 的 math 要遵循的顺序. Your academic goals determine 的 math sequence you select and your placement determines where you start in 的 sequence.
