MTH 180 - OpSTEM Calculus

MTH 180 – Operation STEM Calculus is a tuition-free, 6-week summer course. The content delivered is identical to the content delivered in MTH 181 — Calculus I. Most STEM fields expect students to enter university prepared to take Calculus I. However, this is not always the case. This course is supported by STEM Peer Teachers (SPTs) who provide academic guidance, structured problem-solving support, and collaborative learning opportunities throughout the course in collaboration with the instructor. Upon successful completion of MTH 180, students will earn credit for MTH 181 — Calculus I on their transcript.
