- (4 Credits, MATH 140)
- (3 Credits, CMSC 105)
- (4 Credits, MATH 141)
- (3 Credits, CMSC 150)
**** Please note that the combination of Math 107 (College Algebra) and 108 (Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry) OR Math 115 (Pre-Calculus) is a prerequisite to Math 140 (Calculus I)
If you are pursuing a bachelor's degree from UMGC in computer science, English, history, social science, or general studies (with a minimum of a 30-credit specialization in social studies) or have taken other appropriate coursework (including biology and mathematics coursework), an accelerated pathway between UMGC undergraduate and graduate programs allows you to reduce the total coursework for the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) by up to 12 credits—three courses, including the noncredit introductory course Orientation to Graduate Studies at UMGC (0 Credits, UCSP 615). This accelerated program option allows you to take graduate-level coursework before you complete your undergraduate degree.
To be eligible for this accelerated option, you must have completed the courses listed below before being accepted to the MAT program.

Adolescent Development and Learning Needs (6 Credits, EDTP 535) substitutes for
Adolescent Development and Learning Needs (6 Credits, EDTP 635)
The 500-level courses listed above are the only courses eligible for the 12 articulated credits available through this vertical pathway. If completed with a grade of B or higher, the credits will apply to the MAT program. If successfully completed with a grade of C or lower, these credits apply toward the undergraduate degree only.
The UCSP 615 requirement may be waived if you previously earned a graduate degree from a regionally accredited institution. For more information, contact your academic advisor.
