Beginning with fall 2016, Cuyahoga Community
College (Tri-C®) is phasing in new mathematics
courses. These courses were developed to
accommodate changes in policy by the State of
Ohio. Tri-C’s curriculum has also been adjusted to
provide clearer pathways for students in various
degree and certificate programs. All new courses
will be phased in by fall 16 and all old courses will
be phased out by summer 17.

The New Pathways
Please check the catalog for the specific math requirements for your degree or certificate program and/or see a counselor regarding
the appropriate math course to take for your Tri-C degree or certificate and if you are planning to transfer to a four-year college or university.

Recommended for students who need essential
math skills for their career. MATH 1100 is an
exploration into modern mathematical topics
that are less computational and instead focused
on developing skills in critical thinking, problem
solving and logical reasoning. MATH 0990 develops
skills in context through algebraic and proportional
reasoning. It introduces students to applications
in basic statistics, probability, functions, financial
literacy and linear and exponential modeling.

Must place into Math 1580
An alternative to the traditional calculus route.
This pathway is geared toward students in the
health career sciences, those on a non-calculus track
(including some business majors) and those wishing
to obtain a four-year liberal arts degree.

Math 1530 College Algebra (4 hrs) replaces
the current College Algebra 1521 and Math 1540
Trigonometry (3 hrs) replaces the current
Trigonometry 1510. Even though the topics
remain generally unchanged, the course
numbering has changed because College Algebra
is now a prerequisite for Trigonometry.
