  19. EXPLANATION OF NEED FOR THE SPECIFIC COURSE: Incoming students who are not required to take MAT115 (College Algebra) currently only have the option of taking MAT 111 (Contemporary Mathematics) to meet their general education requirement. For some majors, statistics is a more appropriate general education math course than MAT 111. The Council on Postsecondary Education has requested that all public universities/colleges in the state of Kentucky offer a general education statistics pathway for students not in the college algebra pathway. For some majors, this course could be a more appropriate general education requirement than college algebra. This course will provide the math department a direct transfer of credits for transferring students from other postsecondary institutions, who have successfully completed a statistics course as their general education math requirement.
