Mathematics
Quantitative Literacy is an important component of a strong liberal arts foundation. The following courses have been approved to meet the mathematics requirement and students are encouraged to take them within their first two semesters at UTampa. Students are encouraged and expected to use the skills learned in their mathematics course when identifying and solving problems that they encounter in their courses, their personal lives, and after graduation. Note that many majors require a specific mathematics course and that course can be used to fulfill the Spartan Studies math requirement as well. If a student does not have a math requirement in their major, they are encouraged to take MAT 155 or MAT 160. All Mathematics courses are 4 credits.
Mathematics Course Description
All Students are required to take at least one mathematics course. Given the importance of Mathematics and applied forms of mathematics, like statistics, for the modern world, training in mathematics is a core requirement of Spartan Studies. Which Mathematics course a student takes will be based on the results of a required mathematics placement test and/or the requirements of the student's major.
