Undergraduate Mathematics Placement

Undergraduate traditional students without applicable transfer credit will be placed into the appropriate Mathematics course based on Next Generation Accuplacer scores administered at time of registration. If ACT or SAT scores are available, they can be considered in addition to the Accuplacer scores. Please see Undergraduate Courses for individual course descriptions.

MA 134 Quantitative Literacy with Basic Principles

Next Generation Accuplacer score below 255

ACT math sub-score of 18 or below

SAT math sub-score of 500 or below

MA 135 Quantitative Reasoning: Math in the Real World

Next Generation Accuplacer score between 255-265

ACT math sub-score between 19-22

SAT math sub-score between 510-540

MA 205 College Algebra/MA 230 Introductory Statistics

Next Generation Accuplacer score above 265

ACT math sub-score between 23-26

SAT math sub-score between 550-620

(Students may also transfer in the equivalent of MA 134 as a prerequisite with a grade of "C-" or higher)

MA 243 Calculus and Analytical Geometry I

Next Generation Accuplacer score above 270

ACT math sub-score between 23-36

SAT math sub-score between 550-800

(Students may also transfer in the equivalent of MA 205 as a prerequisite with a grade of “C-” or higher and must have experience equivalent to MA 211 or Pre-Calculus courses in high school and have permission from the course instructor before placement)

NOTE: A Next Generation Accuplacer score in math greater than 285, or an ACT math sub-score greater than 30 (or SAT equivalent), will satisfy a student's mathematics general education (MA 134) requirement.
