How and when did the Gen Ed Math requirement change?
Binghamton University’s Faculty Senate approved a change in the Gen Ed Mathematics/Reasoning (M) requirement in December 2005. This change was made retroactive so that it applied to all students who had not satisfied the M requirement. The Math requirement was changed to read as follows: Mathematics/Reasoning (M) courses include any course in the Mathematics Department numbered 130 or above, any of several designated statistics courses (ANTH 200, BIOL 458, CQS 112, ECON 366, or PSYC 243), or any of several designated logic courses (PHIL 121, 122 or 200). An Advanced Placement (AP) score of 3 or better in Calculus or Statistics may be used to satisfy this requirement. The Mathematics/Reasoning requirement no longer has a provision that students must demonstrate proficiency by achieving a certain Regents score or by taking MATH 107 or 108. Instead, students who feel they need the lower-level Math courses in order to do well in a designated M course will be able to identify themselves eit
