Math Pathway Selection Guide

Which math course is right for you?
TCC offers a variety of math courses geared toward different majors and degrees. While College Algebra (now called Precalculus I) used to be the standard college math course to take, other options are available that may be more relevant to your degree.
As always, please be sure to contact your advisor and your transfer institution before enrolling to confirm the best math class for your degree and transfer plans. Please note that Workforce degrees and certificates are not included in the list below.
What is a corequisite?
Corequisite courses are designed for students who need a little extra help in their college-level courses. Instead of having a prerequisite course that you must take before taking the college-level course, you will take both courses in the same semester. This helps you progress more quickly in your degree and has helped students be more successful.
Corequisite courses are not “study hall,” but are full classes involving homework, quizzes, and time with your professor to help you gain a better understanding of mathematics.
