The purpose of Developmental Math courses at UTEP is to assist students in developing the skills they need to succeeed in college ready courses. The images below describe the pathways students can take based on their Texas Success Initiative Math (2TSM) and Texas Success Initiative Math Diagnostic (2TDM) test scores.
Students who have 2TSM (Texas Success Initiative Math) score of 950-990 or 2TSM (Texas Success Initiative Math) score of 910-949 and 2TDM (Texas Success Initiative Math Diagnostic) Level 6 will be eligible to enroll in any of the following course: Math 1508 (Precalculus), Math 1309 (College Algebra), Math 1380 (Statistical Literacy), Math 1319 (Math in the Modern World) or Math 1320 (Math for Social Sciences).
Students who have a 2TSM (Texas Success Initiative Math) score of 910-949 and 2TDM (Texas Success Initiative Math Diagnostic) Level 5 will be eligible to enroll in either of two pathways:
Students who have 2TSM (Texas Success Initiative Math) score of 910-949 and 2TDM (Texas Success Initiative Math Diagnostic) Level 1-4 will be eligible to enroll in NCBM (Non-Course-Based Math) with Math 0311 (Intermediate Algebra).
Specific for students whose majors require STAT 1380 or Math 1319, 2TSM 910-949 Texas Success Initiative Math) and 2TDM (Texas Success Initiative Math Diagnostic) Level 5 will enroll in Math 0311.
NCBM M031: Beginning Basic Math
This is a non-course based developmental option providing curriculum in beginning basic math. Enrollment requires approval by the Director of Developmental Mathematics.
MATH 0311: Intermediate Algebra
This course begins with a review of polynomials. Major topics include rational expressions and equations, radical expressions, rational exponents, complex numbers, quadratic equations, graphing lines, and geometry. The Course is designed as an introduction to MATH 1508 or 1320. Credit hours received for MATH 0311 may count toward removal of provisional status but may not be used to satisfy any institutional degree requirements. Placement by examination.
MATH 0312 CO-REQUISITE: Intermediate Algebra Co-Req
This course will provide college-level course specific (MATH 1320 or MATH 1508) foundational content to include: Define, represent, and perform operations on real and complex numbers. Recognize, understand, and analyze features of a function. Recognize and use algebraic properties, concepts, procedures (including factoring), and algorithms to combine, transform, and evaluate absolute value, polynomial, radical, rational expressions. Identify and solve absolute value, polynomial, radical, and exponential equations.
MATH 0313 CO-REQUISITE: College Algebra CoReq
This course will provide college-level course specific foundational content to include: Rectangular Coordinates, Graphs and Linear Equations in Two Variables, Analyzing Graphs of Functions, Transformation, Combinations, Inverse and Quadratic Function Models, Polynomial and Synthetic Division, Complex Numbers, Zeros of Polynomial Functions, Rational and Exponential Functions and Graphs, Logarithmic Functions and Graphs, Properties of Logarithms, Exponential and Logarithmic Equations and Models, Linear and Non-Linear Systems of Equations, Linear Systems, Partial Fractions, and Matrices.
