"weeder" and "non-weeder" sections of calculus?

The calculus-including programs list it in the first year (to the extent that they map out the four years on their website). This may be preferred but not essential. It depends what the prerequisite domino sequence is, to take other necessary things and still graduate in four years.

<p>Have you checked whether calculus is actually in the long sequence of prerequisites at those schools?</p>

@fieldsports

when it could have been CC and four expensive years

<p>Be aware that this option is not likely, due to the usual requirement of being a transfer student if one has taken college courses after graduating from high school. The CC route option would likely be taking 2 (or 3 if lots of remedial work is needed) years at CC, then transferring as a junior to a four year school. If the CCs are overflowing, or do not offer sufficient articulated courses for the major at the four year school, that can cause additional delays.</p>
