Undergraduate Requirements

<p>What are the requirements for and undergrad to graduate at Michigan? I's just wondering because I suck REALLY bad at math and I'm just wondering what kind of courses are requirements. I take there is a math and a writing, but anything else? And no I haven't been accepted yet.</p>

<p>There are a bunch, depending on what school you’re in. If you’re in the LSA and your degree doesn’t require any math classes, you can get away with taking none or very little if you get creative with classes that satisfy the quantitative reasoning requirement. It’s fairly easy to look up the gen eds for the different colleges.</p>

<p>It depends on what you want to study. Anything employable will require math. You can probably go without it if you want to study Asian Studies though. LSA gen-ed does not require any (as Twisted said), Engineering obviously does but if you’re really bad at math you’re probably not in Engineering, Ross requires at least Calc 1 (probably more, but I know it’s at least Calc 1), and I don’t know what any other school requires but probably nothing.</p>

<p>Ross only requires Calc 1</p>

<p>PoliSci/Pre law</p>

<p>If you want Ross, then you only need Calculus 1. Oops, flapm said it already :P</p>

<p>For poli sci you can get away with no math whatsoever, I am poli sci, too.</p>

<p>[College</a> of Literature, Science, and the Arts : Students](<a href=“http://www.lsa.umich.edu/bulletin/chapter3/ab_bs/distribution]College”>http://www.lsa.umich.edu/bulletin/chapter3/ab_bs/distribution) here are the lsa distribution requirements. Math and symbolic anaylsis are on there but you don’t have to get credits there if you want to, you can double up on social sciences, humanities, or natural sciences if you want-- or you can take interdisciplinary classes and creative expression, you have options. youll just want to use the advanced search function on the course guide to find courses that satisfy QR (quantitative reasoning) that arent specifically math courses. Your adviser should be able to help you out with this if you need it, and if not shoot me a PM when you’re picking your classes and I’ll try and help out, too.</p>

<p>THANKS!!! That’s what I like to hear</p>

<p>Another thing is that there are sub-categories of poli sci you have to fulfill, political theory, american, comparative, world, and methods. Methods is math-ish. But you only need classes from four of the five, so if you’re like me and trying to avoid math you just have to take everything but methods.</p>

<p>Okay, so realistically, how many people in Ross take only Calc 1?</p>

<p>AP credits don’t satisfy distribution requirements? Then what’s the point?</p>

<p>^Of AP credits? They’re still credits, you’ll need fewer to graduate.</p>

<p>You can always not claim them if you want.</p>
