Math placement at CUA

Do I need to take a placement test?

Yes, you must take a placement test if you are majoring in -- or leaning towards majoring in -- Architecture, Biology, Business and Economics, Chemistry, any Engineering program, Mathematics or Physics.

The placement test determines placement into the following courses:

Math 108 -- Elementary functions

Math 111 -- Calculus for the Social/Life Sciences I
Math 112 -- Calculus for the Social/Life Sciences II

Math 121 -- Analytic Geometry and Calculus I ("Calc I", for short)
Math 122 -- Analytic Geometry and Calculus II ("Calc II")
Math 221 -- Analytic Geometry and Calculus III ("Calc III")

If you just want to take any of these courses, then you must take a placement test.

Put another way: if you are not in, or leaning towards, one of the programs just mentioned, and if you have no wish otherwise to take the courses listed above, then you do not need to take any math placement test.
