Calculus
The Distance Calculus Program allows advanced mathematics students at Georgia
public high schools in our local partner districts to complete Georgia Tech Math
1502 and 2401 (Calculus II & III). Upon successful completion of these courses, the
student will receive Georgia Tech credit.
Competitive Admission
Admission to the Distance Calculus Program is a competitive review process, as we
have more qualified applicants for the program than space available. Please note
that meeting the minimum requirements listed above does not guarantee admission
to the program. Additionally, registration for the course in your high school does not
guarantee admission to the program. Applicants to the program will be evaluated
according to a holistic review process, and we will consider a student's overall
mathematics performance when making our admission decisions.
