Does TESU specifically require your math be college algebra? - Mab81 - 07-06-2017
Does TESU specifically require your math be college algebra? Or are there any other lower level type math classes they will accept? I know everyone here seems to do the ALEKS college algebra. But I am so far behind I can't imagine ever being able to pass the test.

You can take the TECEP for applied liberal arts math.

Depends on your area of study. BSBAs require college algebra. My BA Psych did not.

College Algebra is required, for BSBA, the Statistics course is required as well, I usually tell people go for Study.com/Straighterline Business stats.
I tell people also to do the Intermediate Algebra for elective credit, along with either Precalculus and/or Trigonometry (they duplicate I think).
I'm sending you a PM to see if that will help you out a bit...

If you are enrolled in the History program, you would only need take a college level math exam or course.
CLEP General Mathematics (6) MAT-102/103
TECEP Liberal Arts Math (3) MAT-105
ALEKS Intermediate Algebra (3) MAT-115
If you take one, and need general education or free electives, take them all because they are more or less the same material and do not duplicate.

For a BA in History, I believe you only need a college-level mathematics course (Intermediate Algebra and up)

The reason I am asking is because I noticed that on Straighterline, the lowest level math class they have as a TESU equivalent is College Algebra. That made me wonder if TESU would take anything lower from ALEKS. Hoping that someone who has actually done a lower level math class via ALEKS and transferred it to TESU will chime in from experience

My math credits were from Aleks...College Algebra and Intermediate Algebra.
Under MATH:
MAT-121 College Algebra 06/20/15 CR 3.00 MAT-121
Under Intellectual and Practical Skills:
MAT-115 Intermediate Algebra 06/14/15 CR 3.00 MAT-115
they did NOT give me credit for Beginning Algebra.

Early on Aleks Beginning Algebra transferred as MAT-102 but could only be used for Gen Ed or free elective. It was later re-evaluated as a developmental course.

Thanks for this great info... were you working towards a BS or BA? It says I need 3 credits of numerical literacy, so I was wondering if ALEKS intermediate algebra would suffice for that, or whether i had to have the college algebra.
