Math Placement
With AB 1705, your placement is tied to your declared major and determined by the multiple measures information you've provided to 美姬社区.
Courses listed on this placement page may not necessarily count towards general education for transfer. Please consult with a counselor or visit for more information on transfer and articulation.
Calculus-based Majors
Some majors at 美姬社区 are calculus-based, meaning you will need to complete calculus as part of your major preparation requirements, including Biology for Transfer, Computer Science for Transfer, and Mathematics for Transfer. Your placement reflects this and sets you on the path to complete your educational goals.
The chart below provides more information on how placement for calculus-based majors is determined:
CALCULUS-BASED MAJORS |
||
|---|---|---|
| CODE | HS MATH COURSE | COURSE ELIGIBILITY |
| STEM1 | Did not pass Integrated Math 3, Intermediate Algebra, or equivalent | MATH 126S; MATH 126; MATH 135; MATH 150S |
| STAT C1000E; STAT C1000; STAT C1000H | ||
| STEM2 | Passed Integrated Math 3, Intermediate Algebra, or equivalent | MATH 135; MATH 150S |
| STAT C1000E; STAT C1000; STAT C1000H | ||
| STEM3 | Passed Integrated Math 4, Trigonometry, Precalculus, or equivalent | MATH 150S; MATH 150; MATH 150H |
| STAT C1000E; STAT C1000; STAT C1000H | ||
Majors that do not require calculus
Non-calculus-based majors are those that do not require calculus as part of 美姬社区's major preparation requirements. Your placement is determined by your high school math coursework and grades. Your math course choice will be dependent on your stated major, educational goal, and any major requirements.
Consult with a counselor to determine the right math class for you to get started on the path to complete your educational goals.
The chart below provides more information on how math placement for non-calculus-based majors is determined.
