The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) requirement, MAT 120, is 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 QR requirement.
Students may elect to take a proficiency exam to place out of one or both courses in the QR sequence.
See the QR website for more information.
