[QUOTE="babuka, post: 20366, member: 199"] I would doubt that is true, although I don't think having to take "Survey of Calculus" is a recruiting deterrent. The bigger problem is that there is only one math class below Calculus offered at Tech (pre-calc) and I don't think you even get elective credit for it. So guys can't come in take a college algebra/trig equivalent class, then pre-calc, and the survey of calc I and II and get credit for all 5 classes. They are almost forced to go straight to calc I and II. This also hurts in getting JUCO's, because they most likely took college algebra and trig so that is 6 credit hours that don't transfer which doesn't give them enough progress towards a degree for the year they are in. It used to be that even pre-calculus didn't even transfer and get credit for cause Tech didn't offer it. I seriously doubt any kid has not chosen Tech solely because they didn't want to take Survey of Calculus. ************************************************************ Found a survey of most common majors for BCS football players: [url]http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052748703743504575493773613076844[/url] I wonder what most majors would map to at Tech.
