Students in the Classroom

Mathematics Requirement

Approved Core math classes and sequences can be found in item 2 under Core Curriculum Requirements in the UNR General Course Catalog.

The mathematics requirement is centered on three principles.

  1. Students should have a basic education in mathematical skills and concepts;
  2. Students should take other courses that utilize these skills and concepts;
  3. Learning how to learn is critical for student success.

It is also important to realize that the development of quantitative literacy skills is not only essential for success in Core, and higher level, math courses, but also in other Core areas. In addition, quantitative literacy is one of the foundational skills required of an informed citizenry.

The precise requirement depends on a student's major. Please see your advisor and consult degree requirements.
