Questions, answered

Which math course should I take first?

It depends on your goal. For the calculus sequence, start with Pre-Calculus or Calculus 1; Calculus 3's syllabus lists Calculus 1 and 2 as prerequisites. If you need one college math course, College Algebra and Principles of Statistics are common choices; ask your college which one your requirement takes.

Will my college accept these courses?

ACE and NCCRS have over 2,100 cooperating colleges that will consider accepting credits; the final decision is with the universities. Search your school in Find My College, and ask your registrar which course each one would count as.

Can these count toward a math degree?

Each school decides how transfer credit applies to its own degree: as a major course, a general education course or an elective. Ask your school with the course syllabus in hand; every course page has its syllabus.

How much does a course cost?

$250 a course, paid once, with no proctoring or exam fees; or take every course in the plan with a plan.
