*Sociology requires statistics (SOCY 3B, STAT 5, STAT 7L, or PSYC 2), not math.
**Biotechnology require statistics (STAT 5) not math.
The following alphabetical list shows the introductory math requirements for each major or minor requiring math coursework or proficiency, as of 2022-23. Please verify the requirements for your (prospective) major in the General Catalog before enrolling in your course.
Once you’re confident that you know the math requirement for your intended major or minor, return to the Math Placement home page for the next step in the process.
**IMPORTANT: If your math placement (MP) score is not high enough to take the recommended entry level math course, you should spend time reviewing materials in the ALEKS PPL learning modules and reassess. You can reassess up to three times. The learning modules help you to review math concepts and problems before you take your first math class and can help you succeed. Studies show most students who spend at least six hours in the modules move up at least one placement tier.
We recommend that all students take advantage of the free prep in ALEKS, even if your score is high enough to allow you to register for your intended course.
