Math Placement

 

 

In order to earn a degree, every student must complete at least one course in General Education area B4 (Math and Quantitative Reasoning)–some majors require multiple GEB4 courses. All GEB4 classes have eligibility requirements that students must meet in order to enroll in the course. We determine readiness via multiple measures, including high school GPA, test score information, etc. The placement process reduces frustrations and academic difficulties by directing students to the appropriate first course. For more specific information about this process, please use the links below.
