CORE CURRICULUM - Mathematics and Natural Sciences

General Description
PRE-BACCALAUREATE/ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE CORE CURRICULUM
The College of Coastal Georgia, as a unit of the University System of Georgia, must comply with the provisions of the University System Core Curriculum for facilitating transfer of credit among the various units. The Core Curriculum ensures that an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree earned in a college transfer program at the College of Coastal Georgia will be accepted by a four-year University System unit as having met the general education requirements of the first two years of college. The student must, however, continue in the same area of concentration (major) in order to be exempt from taking additional first and second year coursework at the transfer institution.
Options selected from the following are based on area of concentration: Agribusiness, Agricultural Economics, Environmental Economics and Management, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Forestry, Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture, Forest Environmental Resources, Geology, Mathematics, Physical Therapy, Physics, Pre-Dentistry, Pre Engineering, Pre-Medicine, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre- Veterinary Medicine, and Radiologic Science
Not all students who wish to major in the areas of concentration listed above will be ready to take a fast paced MATH 1113, Precalculus, course. The only other way a student can obtain the same information and be prepared for MATH 1121, Analytic Geometry and Calculus I, is to take the MATH 1111/1112 sequence. These students will receive a maximum of four credit hours for these two courses which is equivalent to what a student taking the one course, MATH 1113, would receive. Three credit hours from this sequence would count in Area A and one credit hour would count in Area F.
Effective with students entering in Summer 2001, MATH 1113, Precalculus, is required in Area A for those pursuing a major in secondary education (Mathematics or Sciences) at all University System of Georgia institutions.
Students sufficiently advanced in math skills may elect to take the first course in the calculus sequence. Both precalculus and calculus are 4 credit hour courses. The fourth hour will be counted in Area F.
For students in areas of concentration other than those on the above list, no such guarantee exists. That is, if a student has an area of concentration not on the list designated above, any extra hours generated from Areas A and D might be applied to Area F if the student's area of concentration permits that, they might count as electives, or they might count above the hours required for a degree.
