Diagnostic

We are excited that you are interested in taking a math class at UVA! It's important to find a good starting place so that we can best support your learning. We have a couple of questions to help you figure out what's next.

What Math courses do I need?

First, you will want to think about what major you are considering and the introductory mathematics courses you should take. Here's a list of some majors and courses they require.

Three pathways through our introductory courses

  1. Do you need to fulfill a quantitative reasoning requirement and don't need a calculus-based course for your major? We offer MATH 1110: Probability/Finite Mathematics , MATH 1140 Financial Mathematics, MATH 1150 The Shape of Space, and MATH 1160 Algebra, Number Systems and Number Theory.
  2. Next Step The next step is the diagnostic for Path 1 and more information about these courses is here.

  3. Are you interested in business, biology, a social science, or need to fulfill pre-health requirements? Path 2 includes Differential and Integral Calculus for non-STEM majors via Math 1190, Math 1210, and Math 1220
  4. Next Step The next step is the diagnostic for Path 2 and more information about these courses is here.

  5. Are you interested in one of the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics or doing graduate work in one of the social sciences? Path 3 includes Differential Calculus Integral Calculus and Multivariable Calculus. We offer Math 1310, 1320 and Math 2310 for this path.
