UT Austin math core classes without calculus
Choose the kind of math you want
Check your degree audit first. A degree plan can require a particular calculus course even if the university core offers alternatives.
- M 302 · Introduction to MathematicsA broad math option. UT lists a Texas Success Initiative exemption or qualifying math assessment score.
- EDP 308 · Statistical Reasoning and LiteracyStart here if you want to interpret statistics in everyday settings and published arguments.
- SDS 302F · Foundations of Data AnalysisA data analysis option. Read the section’s software and assignment details before choosing it.
- AFR 302D · Analyzing Social DataApply math to social questions. Check the spring schedule for the published web-based section and its meeting time.
- PHL 313 · Introductory Symbolic LogicChoose this if you’d rather work with formal logic and arguments than a statistics dataset.
- PSY 317L · Introduction to Statistics for the Behavioral SciencesAn introductory statistics course built around behavioral science.
- SOC 317L · Introduction to Social StatisticsA social statistics course. Check whether your degree plan prefers statistics from a particular department.
- SDS 320E · Elements of StatisticsA statistics option. Confirm it satisfies the slot you need if it’s also a prerequisite for a later class.
Make sure it also fits your major
Read the major’s requirements and any prerequisites for courses you plan to take next. If a statistics course fills the core but won’t unlock your next class, choose the course that does both.
