MATH
REQUIREMENT
All students
in the AAS and BFA degree programs are required to demonstrate proficiency in
fundamental mathematical skills including basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry,
and trigonometry. Proficiency may be demonstrated by transferring 2
credits of college-level mathematics with a grade of “C”
or better, as approved by an Academic Advisor. All other students must
take the NYSID math placement test. Placement testing will result in one
of the following:
1.
The student demonstrates sufficient proficiency and waives the NYSID math
requirement. The 2-credit math requirement converts to free electives.
2.
The student demonstrates sufficient basic mathematical skills to register for 171 Basic Mathematics.
3.
The student does not demonstrate sufficient basic mathematical skills to
register for 171 Basic Mathematics and is required to complete a 2
semester-hour noncredit remedial course in mathematics.
ENGLISH
REQUIREMENT
All students
in the BID program and the AAS and BFA degree programs are required to demonstrate
proficiency in writing grammatically correct prose. Students in the AAS and BFA
degree programs are additionally required to demonstrate proficiency in writing
a well-planned research paper. All or part of the NYSID English requirements
may be met by transferring appropriate college level credits with a grade
of “C” or better, as approved by an academic advisor. Following
evaluation of potential transfer credits all students who still need to satisfy
150 English Composition I must take
the NYSID English placement test. Placement testing does not reduce the number
of credits in writing required by a particular program’s curriculum. Placement
testing will result in one of the following:
1.
The student demonstrates sufficient proficiency to place out of 150 English
Composition I and into 160 English
Composition II. AAS and BFA students are required to complete the three
remaining credits in advanced composition in courses that will be designated as
satisfying the college writing requirement.
2.
The student demonstrates sufficient basic writing skills to register for 150 English Composition I.
3.
The student does not demonstrate sufficient basic writing skills to register
for 150 English Composition I and is required to complete a 3 semester-hour
noncredit remedial course in grammar and writing.
