Math Placement Guide

For Majors in Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Health Services Administration, Recreational Therapy, or Speech Language Pathology & Audiology:

If you do not have credit for STAT 130M, you may need to take a math course in your first semester.
You are eligible to take STAT 130M if you have
- SAT Math score of 500+
- ACT Math score of 18+
- Credit for MATH 1REQ, MATH 101M, MATH 102M or 103M or 162M or higher
If you don't qualify for STAT 130M right away, you have options:
- Take MATH 101M or MATH 103M (if your high school GPA is at least 3.4).
- Use the ALEKS program to try placing into STAT 130M without taking an extra course. Make sure to start math courses by your second semester (spring of freshman year).

If your major is Environmental Health, Exercise Science, Medical Laboratory Science, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Pre-Clinical Studies, or Public Health.

If you do not have credit for at least MATH 102M or 103M, you SHOULD enroll in a math course your FIRST SEMESTER. Math is needed as a pre/co-requisite for required science courses.
Check your SAT/ACT scores to see if you qualify for MATH 102M (Algebra) or MATH 162M (Precalculus).
If your high school GPA was 3.4 or higher but you didn't place into MATH 102M or 162M, you should take MATH 103M.
If you don't place into MATH 103M (high school GPA below 3.4), you MUST start preparing with ALEKS (recommended) or enroll in MATH 100 in your first semester.
