How do C&M students do in follow-up math, science or engineering courses?
Follow-up studies done by the UIUC College of Engineering departments at Illinois indicate that former C&M students are fully competitive in these courses. Many C&M students have gone onto graduate school in engineering and science (Illinois, Cal Tech, MIT, Cal-Berkeley, Texas, Minnesota, etc). Others are in medical schools. Many have excellent jobs in the business world (Intel, Caterpillar, Pixar, Ford, Motorola, Wolfram Research, etc). Others are teaching in high school. Many C&M students have opted to go on to minor in mathematics thanks to their early C&M experience.
Comments from Students
I dreaded taking Calc II. I saw it as a bunch of formulas I needed to know to get through Calc III. C&M certainly made it interesting . . . I don't think I am lacking anything as far as comparing it to a standard calc class. I am able to do things on paper and able to read a calc book and understand, more so that a few engineers who got A's in (traditional) Calc II.
