NOTE: Students interested in the degree program in STT are encouraged to begin their MAT sequence with MAT 151 or
161. Initial placement is based on high school background and the MAT Placement Test. Students not prepared for MAT
151 or 161 should begin with MAT 115 or 111-112, as appropriate.
An overall average of “C” (2.00) or better is required for all 300-400 level STT courses counted toward the major.
