Introductory Calculus
UC A-G approved Introductory Calculus course delivered fully online through immersive VR and AI-enhanced instruction.
Section CUC A‑G Requirement
Mathematics — 3 years required (4 strongly recommended)
Must cover elementary and advanced algebra and two-/three-dimensional geometry. A geometry course or integrated math with sufficient geometry content is required. A 4th year of math is strongly recommended for STEM fields.
Why This Matters for College Admission
Math is the most heavily weighted subject for STEM admissions. The 4th year (Pre-Calc, Calculus, or Statistics) is expected at competitive UCs and signals college-readiness.
