College of Arts and Sciences (2024)

Students completing a degree in the College of Arts and Sciences must complete three separate categories under the Quantitative and Logical Skills requirement. Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees have different courses to fulfill the Quantitative and Logical Skills requirement. This page includes the math requirements for each major in the ASC and the Quantitative and Logical Skills requirements for BA and BS students.

Note: Honors students in the College of Arts and Sciences may be expected to complete higher-level course work to satisfy the math requirement. Honors students should refer to the Honors Guides to the GE for honors math requirements.

Bachelor of Arts Quantitative and Logical Skills Requirement

Fulfill one of the following:

Achieve a standardized test score as specified by the State of Ohio¹
Attain Math Placement Test Score R or higher
Complete Math 1060²or Math 1075. Math 1060² and Math 1075 are remedial and do not count toward the 121 hour minimum requirement for the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

¹If students earn an ACT Math Subscore of 22 or higher; an SAT Math score of 520 or higher; a score of 108EA (Elementary Algebra) or 69 CLM (College Level Math) on the College Board's Accuplacer tests; or an Algebra Scale Score of 52 on the ACT's Compass math placement test, and the test was taken within two years of enrollment, then by State of Ohio law you are not required to take remedial math (courses numbered 1075 and below) regardless of the score on the Math Placement Test. However, students are strongly encouraged to take the math course tested into, especially if students plan to continue taking a sequence of math courses.

²Math 1060 is typicallyoffered on the regional campuses. Math 1060 is a terminal math course designed to fulfill the Quantitative and Logical Skills: Basic Computational Skills category of the GE. Students may follow up with Math 1116 to satisfy the Math and Logical Analysis category of the GE. Students who wish to take math courses higher than Math 1116 should take Math 1075 rather than Math 1060.

Choose one course from the following list:

Computer Science and Engineering 1111or any course at the 1200-level or above³
Linguistics 2001, 3802
Mathematics: any course at the level of Math 1116 or above³
Philosophy 1500, 1501, 2500
Statistics: any course³ except one of those listed in the Data Analysis category

³ except Math 1125, Math 1126, and courses numbered XX93 or XX94

Choose one course from the following list:

The course may also count in your major, if it is at the 2000-level or above and approved by the student's advisor.
