All Honors College students are required to complete at least one Honors Quantitative Literacy course. Quantitative Literacy courses count towards the 25 HONS credit requirement, and students may take additional Quantitative Literacy courses as an Honors elective. Alternatively, the Honors Quantitative Literacy requirement can be satisfied with MATH 120 (or AP credit).
