[QUOTE="poodleface, post: 11657, member: 243"] All students have to take six hours of math, whether they are liberal arts majors or not. While Tech does offer 1711 (Finite Mathematics) and 1712 (Survey of Calculus), I imagine any student who wants to keep their options open would take 1501 (Calculus I) and 1502 (Calculus II) instead. The former are only applicable to liberal arts majors and the school of business (someone correct me if I'm wrong). In addition, all students have to take two Lab Science classes as well. The problem for anyone not majoring in those topics is that these classes have to serve as an introduction not only to the general student population but also to students who may be majoring in that particular area. There isn't an easy Chemistry versus Chemistry for Chemical Engineers. As a result, these classes are likely a bit harder than than they might be at a factory school. There are, of course, ways to make the latter easier. I had one Lab Science to make up when I finished my undergrad and I chose an EAS (Earth, Atmospheric Sciences) class, which was much less demanding than a Physics/Chemistry class. I'm not saying these requirements are any easier at other schools, but for the vast majority of Tech students these classes serve as a wake-up call to the expectations of college life. 1501/1502 are particularly brutal, as the instructors are primarily research faculty who do not seem to be motivated to teach introductory Calculus, so they plow through the concepts, comprehension be damned (there are exceptions, of course, but getting these instructors is often the luck of the draw).
