Which math course meets a quantitative reasoning requirement?

The one on your college's list; most lists name college algebra, precalculus, calculus or statistics. UMGC lists “College Algebra (3 Credits, MATH 107)” and “Introduction to Statistics (3 Credits, STAT 200)” among its math courses, and TESU says “Data analytics and college-level mathematics courses may satisfy this requirement.” UPI Study offers College Algebra (Math 111), Principles of Statistics (Statistics 101), Pre-Calculus (MATH 115), Calculus 1 (Math 165) and Business Math (Math 100), each self-paced.

None is easiest for everyone, and only a course on your college's list counts. Of UPI Study's math courses, Principles of Statistics and Business Math list no prerequisite in their syllabi, College Algebra expects high school Algebra I (or its placement assessment), and Pre-Calculus expects College Algebra. Check that Business Math is on your list before you choose it: it is business math, not college algebra.

Not always. Arizona State has two requirements, “Mathematics (three credit hours)” and “Quantitative Reasoning (three credit hours)”, and its mathematics one asks for “a course in college mathematics, college algebra or precalculus”. Texas counts statistics under Mathematics, Texas Core Code 020 (UT Austin lists SDS 301 Elementary Statistical Methods). See College Algebra vs Quantitative Reasoning.

College Algebra: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Math among other subjects. Principles of Statistics: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Mathematics among other subjects; ACE recommends 3 (ACE ID UPIS-0003). Pre-Calculus: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Math among other subjects.

College Algebra: Math, Accounting, Business, Business Administration, Business Management, Economics, Liberal Arts, or as a General Education Elective, or as part of STEM fields. Principles of Statistics: Mathematics, Economics, International Business, Finance, Finance and Investment, Accounting, Management, Human Resources, Hospitality Management, Management Information Systems, Marketing, Education, or Health Services. Pre-Calculus: Math or as part of STEM fields, Business, Calculus. Your college decides which requirement each one fills.

College Algebra: 10 chapters and 58 instructional hours. Principles of Statistics: 14 chapters and 67 instructional hours. Pre-Calculus: 11 chapters and 75 instructional hours. All three are self-paced, so you finish as fast or as slow as you want.

College Algebra: Successful completion of high school elementary algebra (Algebra I) or its equivalent; or a qualifying score on the UPI Study College Algebra Placement Assessment. Principles of Statistics: none. Pre-Calculus: Math 111: College Algebra (or equivalent), or successful completion of a UPI Study placement assessment demonstrating mastery of high-school-level algebra.

College Algebra: 100 multiple-choice questions, 25% of the grade. Principles of Statistics: 100 multiple-choice questions, 50% of the grade. Pre-Calculus: 100 multiple-choice questions, 25% of the grade.

College Algebra: Abramson, Jay, editor. College Algebra 2e. OpenStax, Rice University, 2021. Additional material for reference: Algebra and Trigonometry 2e. OpenStax, Rice University, 2021, with other references. Principles of Statistics: Illowsky, Barbara, and Susan Dean, editors. Introductory Statistics 2e. OpenStax, 2023, with other references. Pre-Calculus: Abramson, Jay, et al. Precalculus 2e. OpenStax, Rice University, 2021.

College Algebra: NCCRS only. Principles of Statistics: yes, ACE ID UPIS-0003, 3 semester hours. Pre-Calculus: NCCRS only. ACE listings run three years and UPI Study renews them as they end; credit you have earned stays valid for 10 years.

Calculus 1. In the “The calculus sequence” order on the Math courses page, it follows Pre-Calculus. Your program may set its own order.

Yes: every UPI Study course is its own enrollment, so you can take College Algebra without any other course and transfer it by itself.

UPI Study sends it for you. Once College Algebra shows 100% complete, pay the $20 transcript on your Student Dashboard (www.upistudy.com/enrollments, "Get your transcript"); the dashboard then takes you straight to the transcript request, where you enter your college's address, and UPI Study emails it to them. Check spam for the confirmation email.

ACE and NCCRS have over 2,100 cooperating colleges that will consider accepting credits; the final decision is with the universities. NCCRS recommends College Algebra for 3 semester hours in Math, Liberal Arts or as a General Education Elective, among other areas. Principles of Statistics has an ACE recommendation (ACE ID UPIS-0003) and an NCCRS recommendation, each for 3 semester hours. Search your school in Find My College and ask your registrar which one meets your requirement. It helps to name the subject: NCCRS recommends College Algebra in Math and Principles of Statistics in Mathematics.
