The Mathematics Department at Kilgore College offers a comprehensive curriculum to meet the needs of students with diverse skill levels and goals. The department offers developmental mathematics for students who are not TSI complete and college-level mathematics for students majoring in a variety of fields.
College-level mathematics courses satisfy mathematics requirements for an associate degree and are designed to transfer to a university. Several courses also meet Core Curriculum requirements.
Placement is determined through the TSIA2 Assessment, unless a student is exempt through qualifying TAKS, SAT, ACT or other approved exemption criteria. Students who are not TSI complete in mathematics may be required to take developmental coursework or a co-requisite support course with their first college-level math course.
Students enrolled in math courses may be charged an Inclusive Access fee for required course materials, including a MyLab access code and corresponding e-text. This helps ensure students have required materials on the first day of class while lowering the cost of course materials.
Students pursuing mathematics may prepare for careers in data analysis, statistics, education, finance, actuarial science, operations research, computer science and engineering-related fields.
