* * * * New students are required to take the on-line Math Placement Test. This test will recommend that students begin their mathematics sequence by taking Math 1111, Math 1112, Math 1113 or Math 1190, depending on their test score. Students are strongly encouraged to enroll in the indicated mathematics course. See your degree advisor. Visit http://placement.kennesaw.edu for information on the Math Placement Test.

The College of Science and Mathematics further recommends that any student seriously considering majoring in a degree program in the college select a major (or at least elect the major-interest) so an advisor can be assigned. Those even considering majoring in one of the degree programs in our college should meet with an advisor in the appropriate department (see below) or contact the Dean’s Office, by phone at 770-423-6160.
