Credit for ALEKS Corp (McGraw Hill) Online courses in College Algebra & Statistics

[irnbru]

Does anyone know how many of the college algebra courses they will take?

Beginning, intermediate, and college algebra.

Could someone in theory take all three, and use one as math credit, and the other two as electives?

Hi derek10rr3,

The key maths restriction as given on page 17 of the liberal arts catalog states:

"Arithmetic courses and courses that have been designated as developmental of remedial may not be used toward your degree. No more than three courses on the semester-hour system (or four courses on the quarter-hour system) of mathematics credit below the level of calculus may be applied to any degree. Representative titles of math courses below the level of calculus include College Math, College Algebra, Elementary Functions, Modern Math, Fundamentals of Algebra, Trigonometry, and Precalculus."

I think I remember reading somewhere that EC only accepts 'Intermediate Algebra' and above. Maximising maths credit has been discussed quite a bit here recently. It has generally been understood in this situation that for EC it's a case of doing the College Mathematics CLEP for 6 credits, two qualifying ALEKS courses for 3 credits each, the Calculus CLEP/UExcel and another stats course for 3 credits.

Reading about the success people have been having with transcribing ALEKS courses it's becoming a hard choice between TESC and EC regarding using lots of ALEKS courses vs. a restriction of ALEKS plus the ICDL/ECDL (which is worth 7 credits at EC).
