See the Core Requirements listed under the General Education Requirements of the WSU Degree and General Education Requirements of this catalog. Course Delivery Options Pathway to Contemporary Mathematics (MATH 0810) This course is ONLY for students who plan to take MATH 1030 (i.e. Humanities and Social Studies majors). This course replaces the need to take MATH 0990 and MATH 1010, but it is not a combination of the two courses. Curriculum is focused on learning how to think and reason mathematically and is not as algebra intensive. This course meets four days a week in a classroom with an instructor. Collaborative learning is a key element of this course. MATH 0950 is a prerequisite Weber State University 2014-2015 Catalog
