FRESHMAN CALCULUS: Prospective first year Villanova students who have completed a year's study of calculus in high school should take the College Board Advanced Placement test for possible credit for the first course at Villanova.

MAJOR: MAT 1500, 1505, 2500, 2600, 2705, 3300, 3400, 3500, and 5900; an approved analysis elective course, e.g. MAT 3305, 4270, or 5400, plus four additional mathematics courses numbered 3000 or higher; a two-semester natural science sequence with laboratory, e.g. PHY 2410/2411 and 2412/2413; a third science course, e.g. CSC 1051 (all science courses must be at the science-major level).

MINOR: MAT 1500, 1505, 2500, 2600, plus four courses chosen from MAT 2705, and courses numbered 3000 or higher. Students may petition to substitute an approved upper division course (e.g., CSC 4170, ECE 3720, PHY 4202, CEE 3704) in his/her major for one of these four courses. To graduate with a minor, students must have at least a 2.0 Q.P.A. in their Mathematics courses.

NOTE: The University offers multiple versions of calculus and of statistics. One cannot receive credit for two similar versions of calculus or statistics without prior approval. Please contact the department for more information.
