UW - Whitewater Math Requirements

Your actual mathematics placement at UW-Whitewater will be based on a placement test which is very similar to the test given in the Junior Testing program and on your ACT or SAT mathematics score. Your score on the actual placement test could be higher if you study mathematics during your senior year and perhaps lower if you do not. The purpose of the Junior Test is to give you an indication of where you are now so you can plan your senior year mathematics program.

Below are listed the highest level mathematics courses you would need to take for the programs at UW-Whitewater. Refer to the mathematics requirements and then to your mathematics skill level identified below.

If you are interested in learning more about mathematics requirements for different fields of college study, your guidance counselor or mathematics teacher will be able to help you find the information. They can also help you plan your senior year schedule in a way which will be most beneficial to you.
