What is Advising? A collaborative partnership that maximizes the individual potential of students by sharing information, tools, and resources that empower students to make informed decisions about creating appropriate academic and career plans to achieve their academic, career, and life goals. Advisor Responsibilities – What You Can Expect As your advisor, you can expect me to:
speaking confidence. EAPP 1000 fulfills the Global Discourse core requirement, and EAPP 1050 fulfills the Race and Inclusion core requirement. Writing (ENGL 1010) and Writing for Academic Purposes (ENGL 1011) fulfill the TIer-1 Writing Requirement and students are placed into one based on which is predicted to benefit them most. Most take ENGL 1011 in the spring which is focused on the unique skills and particular needs shared by many international students. Any international student who brings in AP, IB, or Cambridge credit for ENGL 1010 must take a Tier-1 Writing course. Students in the Tulane Advantage program must take EAPP 1000 and EAPP 1050 in the Fall, followed by ENGL 1011 in the Spring. Contact the English for Academic and Professional Purposes program for more information: LearnEng@tulane.edu Formal Reasoning Requirement Students are required to take one course in mathematics (MATH) or symbolic logic (PHIL 1210). Recommendations for this requirement will vary based on prior credit earned and/or major and degree. The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree requires two mathematics courses at the 1210 level or higher. The combination of MATH 1150 and 1160 is equivalent to MATH 1210 and counts as one of the two courses required for the degree. PHIL 1210 or MATH 1110 will not satisfy the requirement. The Bachelor of Science in Management (B.S.M.) degree requires MATH 1210 and MATH 1230. The combination of MATH 1150 and 1160 is equivalent to MATH 1210 and counts as one of the two courses required for the degree.
Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Cambridge A-level credit in mathematics will be applied as follows: AP Calculus AB exam score of 4 or higher MATH 1210 AP Calculus BC exam score of 4 or higher MATH 1210 & 1220 AP Calculus CS exam score of 3 with AB sub-score of 4 or higher MATH 1210 AP Statistics exam score of 4 or higher MATH 1110 IB higher level exam score of 5 or higher MATH 1210 Cambridge A Level exam score of A in Pure Math, Mechanics and Probability and Statistics Math 1210, 1220 and 1110 Cambridge A Level exam score of A in Pure Math and Probability and Statistics Math 1210, 1220 and 1230
MATH 1110: Probability and Statistics – The course covers elementary probability theory with applications, random variables, distributions including a thorough discussion of the binomial, Poisson, and normal distributions, central limit theorem, histograms, sampling distributions, confidence intervals, tests of hypotheses, linear models, and regression. MATH 1150/MATH 1160: Long Calculus I, Long Calculus II – This is a year-long course that covers the material of MATH 1210 with time spent reviewing pre-calculus. A student who completes the year-long sequence of MATH 1150 and 1160 successfully can continue their math studies with MATH 1220 or MATH 1230. B.S.M. students must earn credit for MATH 1210 and are not permitted to use the Long Calculus sequence for the B.SM. Calculus requirement. MATH 1210: Calculus I - This course or the equivalent MATH 1150 and 1160 is required for all B.S. degrees and B.S.M. degrees. The course covers functions and their graphs, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications of derivatives, and introduction to the integral. MATH 1210H: Honors Calculus I - The course covers the material of Calculus I in greater depth, with more interesting and difficult problems. Students who have earned A’s in high school calculus and are in the Honors Program are eligible to enroll in Honors Calculus I. MATH 1220: Calculus II - Only for students who have taken MATH 1210 at Tulane or have transfer credit from another
MATH 1230: Statistics for Scientists - Provides a practical overview of the statistical methods and models most likely to be encountered by scientists and practical research applications. MATH 1210 (or MATH 1150 and 1160) is the prerequisite for MATH 1230. MATH 1310: Consolidated Calculus - Recommended for students who have had a good calculus course in high school, including those who have earned AP or IB credit for MATH 1210. Those who have not received credit for MATH 1210 will be given credit for both MATH 1210 and 1310, provided they earn the grade of B- or better in MATH 1310. The course includes a review of material from Calculus I and then goes on to complete the material of Calculus II. It is a satisfactory prerequisite for all courses listing Calculus I and II as a prerequisite. This course is only offered during the fall semester. MATH 1310H: Consolidated Calculus Honors – The course covers the material of MATH 1310 in greater depth, with more interesting and difficult problems. Students who have earned A’s in high school calculus and are in the Honors Program, are eligible to enroll in Honors Calculus 1310. This course is only offered during the fall semester. PHIL 1210: Elementary Symbolic Logic - The course concerns techniques of analyzing sentences and arguments by uncovering the formal structures and relations which underlie them. This involves translating ordinary language into the symbolic formulas of elementary logical systems and proving formalized arguments.
If you have to take Calculus but aren’t sure where you should start, use the chart below to figure out which math course is right for you: Algebra and Trigonometry but struggled and wouldn’t feel comfortable jumping into Calculus without a review. Algebra and Trigonometry or a Pre-calculus course and did pretty well. Calculus I and/or scored a 3 or better on either the AP Calculus AB exam or Calculus BC exam. Calculus I and II (or one year of college Calculus) and/or scored a 4 or 5 on the BC Calculus AP Exam. If you have additional questions, please e-mail the Calculus Coordinator, Professor Albert Vitter (avitter@ tulane.edu) or contact the Mathematics Department 504.865-5727. Taken in High School Consider Taking Long Calculus (MATH 1150/1160) This is a 2-semester sequence that begins with a review of algebra and trigonometry then covers all of Calculus I (Math
If you request placement in French, Chinese, or Spanish and you have ability beyond the beginning level, you will be directed to the Avant placement test; there is a $15 test fee which will be charged to your Tulane accounts receivable.* Your placement will be determined by the results of the Avant placement test. If your placement is above the 2030 level but you do not have a qualifying score on either the AP/IB/ SAT II/A-Level, you will be sent an email with information on sitting for the departmentally administered proficiency exam mentioned above. If you wish to register for a foreign language that you have not previously studied , complete and submit the online placement form, indicating the language you would like to study. You will then be placed in a beginning level course in the foreign language you have chosen. If you are a native or fluent speaker of a language not offered for proficiency at Tulane and wish to fulfill your requirement in that language, you must complete and submit the online placement form. The Language Learning Center will contact you with further information. If you are a native or fluent speaker of a language offered for proficiency at Tulane and wish to fulfill your requirement in that language, you must complete and submit the online placement form. The Language Learning Center will contact you with further information. International students who are native or fluent speakers of a language other than English and who are admitted to Tulane from countries where English is not the first language or their primary language of instruction will be exempt from the foreign language requirement. These students must complete the online placement form in order to obtain the exemption. International students will be identified by their application information and will automatically receive an exemption for the foreign language requirement. *For students where this fee would incur financial hardship, please contact the Center for Academic Equity at cae@tulane. edu or 504-314-7571.

Several possible ways of scheduling your premedical requirements are given below. Variations to the schedules presented here are possible. Students should meet with a pre-medical advisor each semester to plan a course of study that makes sense for your future goals. The MCAT will test students on basic psychological and sociological principles so students should schedule an introductory course in both before they take the exam.
