concentrations (2017-2019). Particular components of this course, including goals, objectives and methods of assessment appropriate for the particular concentration, will be set by the course instructor in conjunction with the faculty content adviser and will include an online e- portfolio of student work, and a final research paper project, which will be presented to the
college community at the close of the semester. (3 credits)
450 Field Experience – Internship (1-4 credits)
499 Capstone: Career Development and e-Portfolio
Mathematics (MAT)
102 College Algebra
This course reviews equations and inequalities, and then focuses on functions and graphs: linear, quadratic, inverse, exponential, and logarithmic. Finally, basic trigonometry is surveyed, and systems of equations are studied. Students who pass with at least a “C” meet the graduation requirement. Prerequisite: A math score of 18 on the ACT or 460 on the SAT, or three years of college preparatory mathematics in high school with grades of C+ or above. (3 credits)
131 Pre-calculus Mathematics
This is a course in elementary functions designed to fulfill the core requirement in mathematics and/or prepare students for the calculus sequence. Topics include the properties of the real number system, inequalities and absolute values, functions and their graphs, solutions of equations, polynomial functions, trigonometric functions, exponential functions, and logarithmic functions. Prerequisite: MAT 102, or a math score of 28 on the ACT or 640 on the SAT, or by permission of instructor. (3 credits)
201 Mathematical Systems
This course is designed to provide students with a strong math foundation. Concepts of number theory, the structure of the whole, integer, rational and real number systems, relationships between algorithms and operations, as well as patterns using relation and functions, including linear equations, systems of equations, the factoring of polynomials, graphing and solving of quadratic equations and inequalities, will be covered. This course satisfies the core math requirement. (3 credits)
243 Statistics
This course is an introduction to statistical techniques and methods and their application to a variety of fields. Topics include data analysis, design of experiments, and statistical inference,
The Liberal Studies major at Providence Christian College culminates in two capstone courses. These courses are designed to allow students to demonstrate their mastery of institution-wide learning outcomes as well as their achievement of competency in their chosen area of
concentration in order to enhance the success of the transition from college to the world of
work or to further academic endeavors. (3 credits)
