Accel– College 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 AdmissionAdmission 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.

Dates from 2013-14 year (deadlines for upcoming year will be announced by Ga Tech shortly-check their website for updates)
