Not sure if College Math can only go under the Natural Sciences...? Also does Fundamentals of Algebra DSST duplicate with either of these? I'm speaking for TESC...

Also on Saylor's, it says "11 courses, 34 credits." Do any of ya'll know which one of the courses is 4 credits?

EDIT: Another question: Would the College Math CLEP alone satisfy the "college-level math course" requirement at TESC? I don't see why not, but two different students told me it won't.

Thanks...

MAT-102/203 CLEP College Mathematics
MAT-105 TECEP Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics
MAT-115 DSST Fundamentals of College Algebra* or ALEKS Intermediate Algebra (duplicate)
MAT-121 CLEP or ALEKS College Algebra
MAT-129 CLEP or ALEKS Precalculus or ALEKS Trigonometry (duplicate)
MAT-231 CLEP Calculus

Dependent upon your degree plan, you could also add 3 to 6 additional credits by taking:
STA-201 DSST Principles of Statistics or ALEKS Intro to Stats/Behavioral Stats/Business Stats (duplicate)
OPM-351 Saylor Business Statistics <- for business students this UL course will fit into the area of study (Gen Mgmt, Ops Mgmt) and business electives. At one time, in my degree plans 2009-2011, it was also considered natural science; but much has changed since then, check with advising.


That equals 15 to 27 (if you complete precalculus, calculus & both stats) natural science/business credits that will help fill the following sections: intellectual practice skills, human cultures and the natural and physical world, general education, business and free electives.

are you saying someone could take all those math courses and get credit ?

I don't know about TESC, but Excelsior has a limit of 9 math credits below Calculus

From my personal experience TESC applied all next math courses to BA in CS degree and transcribed them as followed:

TECEP Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics  - MAT- 105
ALEKS  Intermediate Algebra - MAT-115
ALEKS College Algebra - MAT-121
ALEKS precalculus - MAT-129
Straighterline calculus I - MAT-231
Straighterline calculus II - MAT -232
ALEKS business statistics - STA -201
TESC Discrete Math - MAT -270
-------------------------------------------------------------
MAT -105,231,232 went to intellectual and practical skills electives
MAT -115,121,129, STA- 201 went to general education electives
MAT -270 - to the area of study.

So, apparently TESC doesn't have a limit of  math credits.

CLEP:
College Math-TESU Equivalent~MAT 102 & 103
College Algebra-TESU Equivalent~ MAT 121
DSST:
Math of Liberal Arts-TESU Equivalent~MAT 105
Fundamentals of College Algebra-TESU Equivalent~ MAT 115
