Find Your Perfect Math Path!

Finding your perfect math path is as easy as following three simple steps.  Here’s an easy guide through those steps. Make sure to talk with your advisor to verify you have selected the best path for your major.

STEP 1:  Use your current math placement to determine where to start.

To find your current math placement talk with an advisor or review your CatTracks profile.  Math placement is designed to place you in the highest level course in which you are able to succeed.  There are several options for determining where to start your math path.  Learn more here. 

STEP 2:  Decide which Quantitative Literacy (QL) course you need to take.

Quantitative Literacy is a core requirement for the majority of Weber State programs.  Most students fulfill the QL requirement with one of the following courses.
