ACMS Math Pathways

In an ever increasing data-centered technologically demanding society it is imperative that students at all levels receive appropriate mathematical training. As students enter higher education and begin to determine their career paths, it becomes increasingly important that the mathematics they learn is differentiated according to those choices. In July of 2013, the USG Task Force on the Role of Mathematics in College Completion stated in its report, “System institutions should ensure the alignment of pathways for AREA A Mathematics to programs of study so that students learn the mathematical content necessary for success in their majors.” The purpose of this document is to help inform institutions and departments within institutions of the available gateway paths in mathematics so that informed decisions can be made about major requirements and advisement for their students.
