He graduated from Wheaton College with a bachelor's degree in Communications:

However, that degree does not require any courses in mathematics:

Therefore, the only math courses that Craig would have had to take would be the following:

But, if Craig simply took the "quantitative skills test", he would not have had to take any math classes in college, which means that his most recent math class was from high school!
Now, one of the classes at Wheaton in the Communications depart is called, "COMM 171: Intro to Acting (Spring, 2)". Of course, colleges change their degree requirements from time to time, but degree requirements are, for the most part, fairly static. In addition, none of Craig's "advanced" degree programs were in the area of mathematics or even required mathematics, which means that his last math class was from high school!
