Placement by ACT score

Placement into a particular course is permission to take that course. You need to carefully consider your goals as you select your courses. In particular, some majors require specific courses. Thus, you do not want to skip over a required course and, if your major requires a higher level mathematics course, then you need to enroll in courses that will satisfy the prerequisites for that higher level course.

Note: The statement "satisfies the prerequisites for . . ." in the listing below indicates possible subsequent course choices for this line in the list. In most cases a grade of C or better is required.

Note: The listing below shows the highest level course you may register for based on your ACT math score. You also have the option of registering for a lower level math course.

  • ACT math score below 19: You may register for
    • mths 102 [mths 102 satisfies the prerequisites for math 206, math 210, and stat 214 (only these three)]
    • mths 105 [mths 105 satisfies the prerequisites for math 109, math 206, math 210, stat 214, and math 250]
  • ACT math score of 19 or more: You may register for
    • math 102 [math 102 satisfies the prerequisites for math 206, math 210, and stat 214 (only these three)]
  • ACT math score of 20 or more: You may register for
    • mths 109 [mths 109 satisfies the prerequisites for math 110 and stat 325]
  • ACT math score of 21 or more: You may register for
    • math 105 [math 105 satisfies the prerequisites for math 109, math 206, math 210, stat 214, and math 250]
  • ACT math score of 23 or more: You may register for
    • math 109 [math 109 satisfies the prerequisites for math 110 and stat 325]
  • ACT math score of 24 or more: You may register for
    • math 110 [together with math 109, math 110 satisfies the prerequisites for math 270]
  • ACT math score of 25 or more: You may register for
    • math 206, math 210, math 250, or stat 214
  • ACT math score of 26 or more: You may register for
    • math 143 [math 143 (which is equivalent to math 109 & 110 together) satisfies the prerequisites for math 270]
  • ACT math score of 28 or more: You may register for
    • math 270 [Note: Pre-calculus trigonometry is an essential part of math 270. If you have not had pre-calculus trigonometry we strongly encourage you to enroll in math 110.]
