![]() A student's ALEKS score can help assess their current preparation. It can be helpful for students to take a lower course or even retake a course to strengthen their foundation before moving on to a higher class. After taking ALEKS, the student should discuss which math course they should take with an advisor. Taking ALEKS will assess a student's current knowledge base and its fit with the UF curriculum. Even if a student has credit, they are strongly encouraged to take ALEKS. However, the ALEKS placement is the best predictor of success in UF MAC courses. If a student has incoming math credit, they may use that as placement into MAC courses if the credit appears on their UF transcript or the student provides proof of credit.If a student needs one of the MAC courses listed above and doesn't have incoming credit, they should take the ALEKS placement exam, and then discuss which math course should be taken with an advisor.If a major requires no particular math course, students may take Gen Ed math courses such as MGF 1106 or MGF 1107 without any placement.Consult the Pre-Health Prerequisite Course Chart for more information. Some graduate programs in the health professions such as pharmacy, optometry, and veterinary medicine may require calculus as a prerequisite to admission. General guidelines for using AP scores for placement appear below. If a student has credit via exam or dual enrollment, consult with an academic advisor. If a student's major requires MAC 2234 or MAC 2312 or higher, they must have credit for the prerequisite course. To determine which math course (if any) is required for a major, students should check the requirements for that major. ![]() The math course(s) a student takes will depend on what their major requires (or if they are pre-health), whether the student has incoming math credit, the math course they took last year, and whether they were able to use a calculator during exams, whether the student wants to strengthen their foundation before moving on to new material, and their ALEKS placement score. ![]() ![]() The sequence MAC 1140 and MAC 1114 covers the same material as MAC 1147, but at a slower pace. Precalculus Algebra and Trigonometry (a fast-paced review of both areas)Īnalytic Geometry and Calculus 1 (typically recommended for pre-health students) Placement is used for the following MAC courses: Course List Code Students should check the information on their majors and health professions of interest to determine if algebra/precalculus/calculus are required. A number of business and technical majors require specific math courses. If a student intends to pursue a science or engineering major or intends to go on to a health profession after completing the bachelor’s degree, they should take these algebra, precalculus, and calculus courses. ![]()
