The Quantitative Reasoning & Technological Literacy (QRTL) requirement consists of two courses, LSP 120 and LSP 121, that are designed to help students become confident and critical users of quantitative information, developing facility in the use of spreadsheets (Excel), word processors (Word), email, presentation software (PowerPoint), and the Internet. They will develop quantitative skills in estimation, percentage change, proportional reasoning, scaling, descriptive statistics, and simple mathematical models (linear and exponential).
Students whose program of study requires calculus or discrete mathematics are exempt from the QRTL requirement.
Students may elect to take a proficiency exam to place out of one or both courses in the QRTL sequence.
See the QRTL website for more information.
