ALEKS math courses that transfers to Excelsior

Hello, I would like to know what all ALEKS math classes can transfer to Excelsior? Will the Intermediate Algebra transfer to Excelsior? Thank you!

At Excelsior, you can take a total of 9 hours under the level of MAT-150 Calculus. I have seen older posts stating that people got non-duplicating credit for Beginning Algebra, College Algebra, and Precalculus, but confirm with your advisor that those would still work. Since Statistics counts as MAT-210, you could add that as well if you are trying to get lots of credits from your ALEKS subscription.

On the other hand, if you are math-phobic and completing a liberal arts (=not business or technology) degree, you just need 2 or more math credits and can fulfill that with ALEKS Beginning Algebra.

If you are pursuing a business degree, you need "Precalculus or above" AND Statistics (except the BPS, which requires College Algebra OR Statistics and a math elective).

Technology degrees generally require 12 or more hours of math above the level of College Algebra, which usually includes Calculus, Differential Equations, etc. You could use ALEKS credits for Arts and Sciences electives though.

According to the school of liberal arts College Algebra, College Algebra with Trigonometry, Intermediate Algebra and Pre-Calculus duplicate each other.

So Beginning Algebra, College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Statistics should work. Thanks Exfactor!

So my son could take say Intermediate Algebra or College Algebra, Trig, and Stats for a total of 9 credits to transfer into Excelsior if he is going to complete the Liberal Studies degree?

He could, and he could add Beginning Algebra to that as well for a total of 12 ALEKS credits.

Intermediate Algebra & College Algebra will duplicate, so he can take only one of them. However, he can also take trig and stats.
