Accelerated Path-to-Transfer Modular Math Program

Berkeley City College now offers a new system of mathematics instruction that makes it possible for you to accelerate your progress toward a degree.

 

The new system consists of twenty half-unit courses which we call modules.  Each module covers one important topic that students usually learn in pre-transfer level arithmetic or algebra courses.  These modules will help you learn what you need to know in order to succeed at college-level mathematics.

 

Delivering mathematics instruction this way has many advantages for you, among them:

 

• If you learn fast, you can get from start to finish in a single semester.  If you need more time, you can take it. You will work at your own pace with instructional support in the classroom and on the internet.

 

• You may not need to work through every module in the sequence.   If you already know what is in a module you will have the option of testing out of it and skipping on to the next higher module in the sequence immediately.
   
• If for any reason your academic progress is interrupted during a semester, you get to keep credit for all modules that you have completed.   When you return to school you will begin working in the module where you left off.  You will not have to go back and start all over again as has always been the case in the past.

 

•  Each module in the sequence is an affordable one-half unit course.
  

 

• Each module you finish adds one-half unit of math credit to your transcript, with a grade.

 

• The purchase of a single workbook and access card buys you the access you need for the entire modular sequence, all the way from the beginning of arithmetic (our old Math 250) to the end of intermediate algebra (our old Math 203).  This can reduce the cost of your textbook purchases for arithmetic and algebra courses by up to 75%, depending on where you begin your studies in the sequence.
