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

My situation:

Basically I already have 9 Lower Level (2 calculus, 1 stats) and 6 Upper Level (Discrete Mathematics for Computer Scientists) math credits.
***all from real accredited institutions***

Respectfully, "real accredited institution" is not a thing. Just a heads up, that can be a big deal around these parts. There is regional accreditation, and national accreditation. Your accredited institution must be "RA" in order for your courses to transfer into TESC.


With ALEKS (Assuming things don't overlap, which I think they will with my STATS course) I can get another 18 Lower Level and 9 Upper Level Credits

No, you can't get 18 lower level or any upper level credits with ALEKS. Go back a few pages and look at the ALEKS list. Based on what you already have, you can complete the CLEP College Math (6) and the 4 other ALEKS maths 100 level (12 cr) plus anything you already have at a 300/400 level. You'll have to drop one of your maths into the gen ed requirement, leaving you a maximum possible 15 lower level for your major. Sadly, you can only use 2 classes (6 credits) at the 100 level, inside your major, meaning the remaining 9 credits are thrown back into your gen ed electives.

So, what you have after all of that is said and done:
1) a completed math requirement for your gen eds
2) some gen ed electives
3) 2 ea 100 level maths inside your major
4) X 300/400 level maths you transfer in with (I count 6 not 15?)

I think any ALEKS courses you take, besides statistics would be redundant in this major. I think you probably already have this without ALEKS[/COLOR]


For Math Majors:
Upper Level Credits Required: 18
Total Credits Required: 33

Upper Level Acquired: 9+6 = 15 (missing one half course, ideas?)
Lower Level Acquired: 18+6 = 24 (overkill, only 12 would be required, could be passed onto other requirements)

Am I right in this? Because of my situation, I could be really close to a Math Major?

We haven't had a math major since I've been here, ever. I'd be interested in your progress and how you meet your requirements. If you feel up to it, you could apply to TESC and get an evaluation. For fun, you could also pay $20 to ALEKS and just rock out all the maths- then when you apply submit them too. See how they do a distribution, it would be interesting. Perhaps they'll do it differently than what I broke down above. In any event, if you do apply, your application is "good" for 6 months, so you wouldn't have to decide anytime soon.
