College Readiness
Triton College helps students achieve academic success by developing or enhancing basic skill proficiencies in mathematics through our College Readiness Courses.
Triton College partnered with district high schools to offer Transitional Math to their students. Faculty from the high schools and the college collaborated to develop and offer three transitional math courses: Technical Math, Quantitative Literacy and Statistics, and STEM. Students must qualify, and a passing grade can be used to bypass Triton’s math placement test, which guarantees the student placement into a variety of credit level math courses at Triton College, saving them time and money.
