First-year students

All first-year students should take the math placement exam to determine readiness for math courses unless they have earned or expect to earn college credit (such as AP, IB, PSEO, CIS, or CAP) equivalent to or higher than Math 1271 (Calculus I) or higher.  

Transfer students 

All transfer students should take the math placement exam to determine readiness for math courses unless they have earned or expect to earn college credit (such as AP, IB, PSEO, CIS, or CAP) equivalent to or higher than Math 1271 (Calculus I).

Chemistry

Please note that the Math Placement Exam is also used to determine the appropriate chemistry course placement.

First-year students

All first-year students should take the math placement exam to determine readiness for chemistry courses unless they have earned or expect to earn college credit (such as AP, IB, PSEO, CIS, etc.) equivalent to or higher than Chem 1015/1017 (Introductory Chemistry) or higher.

If your major is Agricultural Education or Agricultural Communication & Marketing, the equivalent to Introductory Chemistry (1015/17) is the minimum required for the major, and a placement test score is not required for registration.

If your major is Applied Economics or Agricultural Food and Business Management, no chemistry is required for the major.

Transfer students

Transfer students with majors that potentially require Chemistry beyond Introductory Chemistry (1015/17) should complete the math placement exam and discuss appropriate Chemistry registration with advisors. This includes the following majors:

  • Animal Science
  • Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management
  • Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology
  • Food Science
  • Forest and Natural Resource Management
  • Nutrition
  • Plant Science
  • Pre-Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering
  • Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems
  • Sustainable Systems Management

If your major is Agricultural Education or Agricultural Communication & Marketing, the equivalent to Introductory Chemistry (1015/17) is the minimum required for admission and no further Chemistry is needed for the major.

If your major is Applied Economics or Agricultural Food and Business Management, no Chemistry is required for the major.
