Math Pathways

Senate Bill 366 states, "To facilitate seamless transfer of credits, reduce excess credit hours, and ensure students take the courses needed for their future career, the articulation agreement must establish three mathematics pathways for students by aligning mathematics courses to programs, meta majors, and careers. A representative committee consisting of State University System faculty, faculty of career centers established under s.1001.44, and Florida College System institution faculty shall collaborate to identify the three mathematics pathways and the mathematics course sequence within each pathway which align to the mathematics skills needed for success in the corresponding academic programs and careers."

Students who begin in the Florida College System in Fall 2024 or later and intend to graduate with the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science or Bachelor's degree must meet this requirement.

There are several ways to make sure you are taking the correct math class:

1. For A.S. degree-seeking students, HawkGPS will reflect the required math class. For those in Associate in Arts transfer pathways, your HawkGPS will recommend the appropriate math class based on your declared pathway.
2. The HCC website "Browse All Degrees" page lists each degree and the math courses associated with each degree.
3. The HCC College Catalog lists each degree and the math courses associated with each degree.
4. Academic Advisors are happy to discuss your math requirements. Visit this Advising Webpage and schedule an appointment.

The Florida Department of Education created two new courses (MGF 1130 and MGF 1131) to replace MGF 1106 and MGF 1107 beginning in Fall 2024.

MGF 1106 and MGF 1107 will be offered for the last time at HCC in Summer 2024.

Yes, students who received a grade of D or F in MGF 1106 and/or MGF 1107 should speak with an advisor to discuss the following options:

• Retake the course(s) in Summer 2024.  Remember these are more condensed courses in the summer and may not be the best option for students who have struggled with these courses previously. See our Summer 2024 classes here.
• Take MGF 1130 in Fall 2024 or later to replace the D or F grade in MGF 1106.
• Take MGF 1131 in Fall 2024 or later to replace the D or F grade in MGF 1107.  Note: MGF 1131 is not a designated Core math course, so students may need to take an additional Core math to satisfy the graduation requirement. See an academic advisor for help.

Students facing a third or fourth attempt should complete a "Course Repeat Fee Waiver". You must meet with an Academic Advisor or Counselor to initiate this process. 

Here are the Course Intended Outcomes for the new MGF 1130 course:

• Apply logic in contextual situations to formulate and determine the validity of logical statements using a variety of methods.
• Apply mathematical concepts visually and contextually to represent, interpret, and reason about geometric figures.
• Recognize the characteristics of numbers and utilize numbers along with their operations appropriately in context.
• Analyze and interpret representations of data to draw reasonable conclusions.
• Determine efficient means of solving a problem through investigation of multiple mathematical models.

Here are the Course Intended Outcomes for the new MGF 1131 course:

• Apply mathematical models to civically contextual situations (e.g., Stocks, Finance, Voting, Population Dynamics, etc.).
• Organize, visualize, and model data in a meaningful way.
• Analyze and interpret representations of data to draw reasonable conclusions.
• Engage in ways of thinking that may involve sample size, counting strategies, chance, ratios, and proportions.

Remember that while this course is a General Education Math course, it does not satisfy the Core requirement for Math.

It is important to speak with an academic advisor any time you change your major or academic plan.

For students who plan to transfer - please check with the college where you plan to transfer to see what math they require.

For students pursuing an AS degree - You may have the option to apply for a course substitution.
