Calculus Readiness Exam Some majors require one of the calculus courses, Math 11 or Math 30. Business majors, with a few exceptions, take Math 30 (Calculus for Business I), while majors in the physical sciences and engineering take Math 11 (Calculus and Analytic Geometry I).

Both courses are traditional calculus courses and require that students have a solid background in high-school mathematics. The purpose of the Calculus Readiness Exam is to let you know if you have the mathematical knowledge that is a prerequisite for studying calculus at SCU. For more information, visit www.scu.edu/orientation/calctest.

Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Credit Santa Clara participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) Program and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program to recognize college-level academic achievement prior to matriculation and to encourage students to pursue advanced studies in their areas of interest. Credit or place­ment is determined by the appropriate department based on review of the student’s test scores, sometimes in the context of supplemental departmental examinations.

Students will be notified of credit upon matriculation at the University. For more information, refer to pages 407–09 in the Undergraduate Bulletin: www.scu.edu/ugbulletin.
