Dual Enrollment

Distance Math Programs

Our math program is designed to help students challenge themselves in higher level math offerings. We offer advanced math to students who have taken AP Calculus BC and have qualifying scores on the exam. We offer Precalculus to students who do not have Calculus offered in their high school and would like to pursue a college-level Precalculus to prepare them to start in Calculus in college.

What we offer in this area:

  • Distance Precalculus: MATH 1113 (Fall)

  • Distance Math Year One (Includes Math 1554: Linear Algebra and Math 2551 Multivariable Calculus)

  • Distance Math Year Two (Includes Math 3012: Applied Combinatorics and Math 2552 Differential Equations)

Anything I should know about this program?

Precalculus is a one-semester course offered in fall. Our post-calculus math courses are offered as 2-course programs. Students take both courses in one academic year, one scheduled in the fall and one in the spring to successfully complete the program.

How will the classes be taught?

Distance Precalculus: Students attend four live sessions a week, Monday through Thursday, from 8:25-9:15 a.m., two lectures with the Instructor, and two interactive sessions with the Teaching Assistant. Additionally, students will watch recorded mini lessons. Students will take four tests during the semester and a final exam. All tests and exams will be proctored in your high school.

Distance Math 1 and Distance Math 2: Lectures are pre-recorded and available to students in a learning management system. Students are expected to view three lecture recordings each week, and instructors will teach live studio sessions twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday, from 8:25 to 9:15 AM.

Studio sessions will also be recorded for review or for students who do not attend live sessions. Students must take proctored tests 4 to 5 times per course on specific dates which are announced at the beginning of the semester.

Course Descriptions

Students who have completed Algebra, Geometry, and Advanced Algebra may apply to take MATH 1113 if their high schools are hosting the program. This course is being offered to high schools that cannot offer Calculus.

Students who have completed AP Calculus BC may apply to take this two-course program that includes:

  • MATH 1554 Linear Algebra (Fall, 4 hour)

  • MATH 2551: Multivariable Calculus (Spring, 4 hour)

What if I haven’t taken AP Calculus BC?

  • We will consider students who have dual enrollment Calculus courses that transfer to Georgia Tech as MATH 1551 and MATH 1552.

  • Students may apply with alternative high school Calculus courses only if AP Calculus BC is not available to them in their high school.

Students who have completed Distance Math Year One may apply to take this two-course program that includes:

  • Math 3012: Applied Combinatorics (Fall, 3 hour)

  • Math 2552: Differential Equations (Spring, 4 hour)
