College-Level Math
Pre-College Math is for students who have taken less than 3 years of math in high school or need a refresher before entering college-level mathematics. Students who are planning to earn a college transfer degree should take a math placement test or if they have taken previous college math classes they should meet with an advisor. Students pursuing other programs of study, should check with their department or professional/technical advisor to determine their math requirements.
