The Andrews Core Experience mathematics requirement can be fulfilled by any of the following classes: STAT 285 , MATH 145 , MATH 165 , MATH 166 , MATH 168 , or MATH 191 . Based on a student’s background, a student may need to complete MATH 105 and/or 106 before enrolling into one of these courses. The Mathematics Placement Exam determines which course a student is ready for. Students with ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer scores will have an official MPE score assigned, based on their performance on the math portion of the test. All incoming students, new and transfer (see exceptions below), should check their record for an MPE score. If they do not have a score or believe that the placement is inaccurate, then they can obtain an official MPE score by taking a proctored assessment. For details go to the department website.
Introductory mathematics courses
MATH 105 - Beginning Algebra and MATH 106 - Intermediate Algebra prepare students with an MPE scores lower than P2 for the ACE mathematics courses. Students with an E0 score should enroll in MATH 105 - Beginning Algebra during their first semester, and those with a score of P0 should sign up for MATH 106 - Intermediate Algebra .
Transfer courses
Courses transferred to meet the ACE mathematics requirement must be broadly equivalent, both in content and level, to those offered at Andrews to meet the requirement. Andrews students who wish to take a course elsewhere to meet the reasoning requirement must first meet the skill requirement and must have the proposed course accepted by petition before enrolling in it. Courses titled Intermediate Algebra, Elementary Algebra, Basic Algebra, Pre-algebra, College Arithmetic, or Business Mathematics are likely equivalent to MATH 105 and 106 which do not fulfill the ACE mathematics requirement.
Exceptions
- Students who at admission transfer College Algebra, College Algebra with Trigonometry, Precalculus, Precalculus Algebra, Precalculus Trigonometry, Calculus, a Cambridge “A Level” pass in Mathematics, or an AP Calculus score of 4 or 5 fulfill the ACE mathematics requirement.
- Some courses other than those listed in 1 above may be accepted for the ACE mathematics requirement, provided they are presented at admission. Students wishing to have a course evaluated should email the Andrews University Department of Mathematics a copy of the course syllabus and a link to the course description found on the website of the institution offering that course.
- Students enrolled in the Center for Intensive English Programs are not required to obtain an official MPE score until the first semester of enrollment in regular college-level courses.
