MATH 1111 is a prerequisite for MATH 1113 Pre-Calculus. Some students enrolled in MATH 1111 might also need to enroll, concurrently, with College Algebra support classes MATH 0999A, MATH 0999B, or MATH 0999C, depending on the amount of support needed. Given the math starting point, 8 more credits (over the usual 63) are required for this degree: MATH 1111 (3 credits), MATH support class (1 credit), and MATH 1113 (4 credits).

 If you plan to transfer to Georgia Tech or REPP Institutes, here is a summary of transfer requirements beyond the AS degree requirements:

  • MATH: MATH 2115 Introduction to Linear Algebra, MATH 2135 Calculus with Analytic Geometry 3, MATH 3107 Differential Equations (must be finished at CSU) before transferring. These courses are not part of the AS degree.
  • PHYS 2212 Principles of Physics II/PHYS 2312 Principles of Physics II Lab (Area F option) must be taken if not taken for AS.
  • CHEM 1211 Principles of Chemistry I and CHEM 1212 Principles of Chemistry II with labs (Area D options) must be taken if not taken for AS.
  • ENGR courses: ENGR 2115 Statics, ENGR 2125 Dynamics of Rigid Bodies, ENGR 2165 Thermodynamics must be taken at CSU prior to transferring.

Students who plan to major in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering may take →, ENGR 2117 Circuits and Electronics, , ENGR 2206 Digital Logic , ENGR 2217 Robotics Engineering Design, ENGR 3235 Circuit Analytics , and ENGR 3236 Introduction to Signal Processing at CSU.

See your advisor about admission criteria to the REPP Institutes or refer to the the E&SS website under Engineering Studies. Your GPA scores in Math & Sciences will affect how easy or hard it will be to be accepted into the Georgia Tech program. In addition, Extra Curriculum activities you have done at CSU may help to transfer to Tech. Please also refer to the Sample Schedules for different Engineering Majors under the E&SS Web Site in Engineering Studies Section.
