First, we evaluate what you know about math.
Everyone needs to take math to earn a degree. If you’re in a class you’re not ready for or one that’s too difficult, it can cost you time, money, and lots of frustration.
We use ALEKS, an online assessment, to determine the best math class for you.

Then, we put you in the right class.
Some students go straight to college-level math. Lots of students get extra help in developmental math. Your ALEKS score might place you in one of our developmental classes.
MAT 102 (Basic Algebra) lays the groundwork for a solid foundation in Algebra. Once you pass this class, you’ll move on to MAT 104.
MAT 104 (Intermediate Algebra) teaches you the skills you need for college algebra.
