Connell School of Nursing
For Students in the William F. Connell School of Nursing
Ìý
A student in the Connell School of Nursing is exempted from the Mathematics Core Curriculum Requirement if he/she received a score of 4 or higher on either the Calculus AB or Calculus 51²è¹Ý advanced placement exam, and the result has been recorded on the student's transcript.
Otherwise, each student in the Connell School of Nursing must complete at least one Mathematics core-level course, usually from the following list:
- MT004ÌýFinite Probability and Applications
- MT005ÌýLinear Mathematics
- MT007ÌýIdeas in Mathematics
- MT180ÌýPrinciples of Statistics for the Health Sciences
- Any Calculus course (MT100ÌýCalculus I or higher)
Note
- Beginning with the class of 2010, CSON students will be required to completeÌýMT180ÌýPrinciples of Statistics for the Health Sciences in the Spring semester of freshman year to complete their mathematics core requirement.
- CSON students in the classes of 2009 and earlierÌýwill likely complete their mathematcs core curriculum requirement by takingÌýMT004ÌýFinite Probability and Applications. Among the non-Calculus course offerings, MT004 contains topics most applicable to the field of Nursing.
- CSON students in the classes of 2009 and earlier may be allowed to complete their mathematics core curriculum requirement withÌýMT180, but only as space permits.
- For students with strong Mathematics backgrounds, a Calculus course at the level ofÌýMT100ÌýCalculus I or higher may be a better and more interesting choice for you than MT004. Please be sure to visit theÌýCalculus area of our websiteÌýto see if there are Calculus options you'd prefer to taking MT004 or another core-level Mathematics course.
