ALEKS is no longer an option for BSBA GM math requirements (MAT-121, STA-211), correct?
What is the cheapest and fastest option for these two classes? I've taken up/through pre-calc. in High School, but that was some time ago.
Correct, ALEKS is no longer recommended for credit. However, there are plenty of options to meet the Quant Lit (College Algebra) and Math (Stats) requirement for BSBA. For example:
There are also exams (like CLEP & TECEP) options as well.
- Saylor Academy has both College Algebra (MAT-121) and Introduction to Statistics (STA-201)
- Shmoop has Algebra I & II (MAT-121) and Statistics (STA-201)
- Straighterline has College Algebra (MAT-121) plus Business Statistics and Intro to Statistics (both STA-201)
- Study.com has Math 103: Precalculus (MAT-121) and Stats 101: Principles of Statistics (STA-201)
Cheapest would be Saylor or Shmoop, depending on whether you're planning to take other Shmoop courses as well. Fastest will depend on which provider works best with your learning style. The SL Business Stats course is generally considered one of the easier/faster options as it leans more on theory than and hardcore math skills.
Awesome!
Thanks for the speedy reply, I'll get to looking between Saylor & Shmoop.
I'm already familiar with SL so that may be the best way to go for Stats, and perhaps CLEP in order to meet Quantitative Lit. requirement. That would be CLEP College Mathematics, yes?
I was thinking CLEP College Algebra, but College Mathematics should meet the Quant Lit requirement too... it comes in as MAT-102 & MAT-103 and is worth 6 Cr.
EDIT: BSBA requires College Algebra or Quantitative Business Analysis within Intellectual and Practical Skills section of General Education requirements. So College Math meets Quant Lit requirements but doesn't meet the BSBA requirement.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
