Your undergraduate school at Washington University (Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Business, Art, or Architecture) will see to it that credits for any appropriate mathematics courses taken elsewhere get transferred and entered on your Washington University record.  To do this, that your undergraduate office needs an official transcript from your previous school (make sure one that one has been sent including your most recent grades).

In transferring mathematics credits, the Mathematics Department is usually consulted to see which courses here are equivalent to courses you've already taken.  This is especially true for "upper level" courses beyond calculus and differential equations.

It will help our evaluation process if your bring along some information about previous math courses, for example:

• a course syllabus
• the name of the textbook you used and its author(s)
• the text book itself or a photocopy of the table of contents
• a URL to the location where your previous school posts a description of the course

The more of these you can provide, the better job we can do here in getting you the correct credits and placing you into the right courses..

If you're considering additional work in mathematics, you might take a look at the major or minor requirements and at the general information for math majors and minors.

Questions about calculus and differential equations can be directed to Dr. Blake Thornton,
Questions about upper level courses can be direct to Professor Ron Freiwald.
