UW - Platteville Math Requirements
The purpose of the Early Mathematics Placement Tool (EMPT) is to give you an indication of where you would place if you were to enter UW-Platteville at this time and to give you information on the Mathematics requirements for various majors. However, your actual placement into a mathematics course at UW-Platteville will be based on the UW System Mathematics Placement Test. This test is given in the spring of your senior year and is similar to the EMPT, but longer. Your score on the UW System Mathematics Placement Test could be higher or lower than your EMPT level depending on the choices you make for mathematics study in your senior year. You should definitely plan to schedule an appropriate college preparatory mathematics course in your senior year of high school. This will enhance your chances of beginning your studies with a required college mathematics course and hopefully avoid the need for remediation.
At UW-Platteville, every student has to satisfy the general education requirement in Mathematics. This is done by passing a mathematics course numbered 1630 or higher. Even students who do not need mathematics for their major programs have to satisfy this requirement. Following is a list of the required mathematics courses for all majors at UW-Platteville. If you wish to begin your college career with the courses that are most important to your field of specialization, then you should make sure that you have mastered all the prerequisite mathematics courses at your high school during both your junior and senior year.
If you have additional questions regarding mathematics requirements at UW-Platteville, please call the Mathematics Department at (608) 342-1741. For more information about the UW-Platteville campus or a specific major, visit the university website at http://www.uwplatt.edu.
