    What kinda math do you study in college?

    I was curious of what kinda math you take in college to be a cop? What if math isn't exactly your best subject or if it's your hardest? I make good grades in math but it's still hard for me like percents etc.

    I took Calculus when I was a freshman and had to withdraw to avoid getting an F. My senior year, I was only 12 hours away from graduation and decided to take Calculus again as an elective. I wanted to prove to myself that I could pass it if I tried and I knew my study habits had become much better than when I was a freshman.

    I ended up having to withdraw again to keep from failing it!

    I am sure your college or university has a website that lists the program, and many if not all of the courses available, that would be your best place to find this information.

    I didn't have to take any math classes. I scored high enough on my ACT in high school so that I was not required to take college level math. The LE program did not require any math credits.
    No, you've got the wrong number. This is 9-1....2.
