What Is M.A.PS?

Math Achievement Pathway to Success

The Math Achievement Pathway to Success (M.A.PS) offers an approach to success, particularly if you've had difficulty in previous Math courses.

These college Math classes cover Elementary and Intermediate Algebra in two semesters. Instructors, counselors, and Math tutors/mentors collaborate to help you complete your Mathematics requirements.

M.A.PS includes eight hours of class per week (compared to five hours in other algebra classes.) Math 903M and Math 903MX (co-requisites) are Elementary Algebra, and Math CM and Math CMX (co-requisites) are Intermediate Algebra. 

Students in the M.A.PS Program attend class for two hours of instruction Monday through Thursday. This instructional time provides class activities and collaborative group work. There is an embedded Math tutor during and after class to assist you.
