Illinois Tech’s mathematics track for high school dual-enrollment courses is designed for students to sequentially build their math skills. Students can take the courses below independently or as part of a sequence, but some courses have prerequisites. Check out the course descriptions below for more information about each course.
Additionally, because of the rigor of the courses, this track will be offered primarily as an in-person track and will support students who are interested in STEM pathways that require math prerequisite skills such as computer science or engineering.
