Welcome to Weber State University's
Quantitative Literacy Website
Utah’s Quantitative Literacy Requirement
Quantitative literacy is widely recognized to be one of the competencies expected of all college graduates. Utah’s Board of Regents promotes this competency by requiring that all public institutions in the state set a quantitative literacy requirement and follow guidelines set forth by the Regents.
Weber State University’s
Quantitative Literacy Requirement
As proposed and approved by Weber State University’s Faculty Senate, Weber State offers a menu of Math courses and one Philosophy course that students can successfully complete to fulfill WSU’s quantitative literacy requirement. Students can also test out of quantitative literacy (QL) through high AP and Accuplacer scores. For a summary document that is NOT major-specific, review WSU's Assessment and Placement Standards.
Important! Academic departments specify which of WSU’s QL courses can be used to fulfill the requirement for specific majors. Consult your program advisor and/or program materials for more information on which QL course would be most appropriate for your program of study.
Weber State University students who anticipate transferring to another institution within the Utah State higher education system should fulfill quantitative literacy (QL) with one of the approved Math QL courses rather than PHIL 2200, "Deductive Logic”. PHIL 2200 will not be accepted in transfer as a QL course by another Utah public institution of higher education.
Still Have Questions?
Your academic advisor can help you choose the QL requirement that is most appropriate for you based on your major requirements, interests and aptitudes!
