These five engineering departments don’t currently have any free electives in their curricula:
Ceramic, Civil, Geological, Mining, Petroleum
Technical electives – usually must be approved by major

Math Placement
Math Placement Testing for New Transfer Students


Tool to help insure that new students are taking the
appropriate math class.
Two Tests



MMPT
Trigonometry
Students who need testing should be referred to
http://braintrax.mst.edu/ to brush up on their skills before
the test.
Math Placement
Testing Guidelines for Engineering, Math, Science, and Computer Science Majors
Follow these guidelines for any major that requires Math 008 or 014.
Students who have completed the equivalent of Calculus II with a grade of C or better ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO TEST.
Students who will have completed the equivalent of Calculus I with a grade of C or better by the
time they transfer to S&T and DO NOT have AP or college credit for trig ARE REQUIRED TO
TAKE THE TRIG PLACEMENT TEST ONLY.
Other students must take both the algebra and trigonometry placement tests. (Note: Low grades
in Calculus I or II may indicate problems with algebra or trig skills. Math placement scores
can help the advisor to better advise the student.)
If a student who requires math testing has never taken a trigonometry class and has no trig
background, the student MAY CHOOSE to not take the trigonometry test and, consequently,
will be required to take trig (Math 6) at Missouri S&T. The student must still take the algebra
test.
Math Placement
Testing Guidelines for IST, Business, Economics Majors
Students who have completed the equivalent of Business Calculus (Math 012) ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO TEST.
Other students must take ONLY THE ALGEBRA TEST.
Testing Guidelines for Other Majors
Follow these guidelines for any major that does not require calculus or business calculus.
History, English, psychology, majors do not need placement testing as new students.
Students who have completed the equivalent of College Algebra (Math 004) or a higher
math course with a grade of C or better ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TEST.
Others must take ONLY THE ALGEBRA TEST.
Again, when advising “exploratory” students, be careful to keep their options open by choosing a
math sequence that could lead to Calculus 1
Chemical Engineering Note
CHEME 120 and 141 are Key Pre-Requisites
Chemical Engineering FALL TRANSFERS are strongly encouraged to take the
following courses at S&T the summer before they transfer:
ChemE 120 – Chem Engineering Material & Energy Balances
and
ChemE 141 – Chem Engineering Thermodynamics I
Spring Chemical Engineering transfers will take those courses their first semester
here.
Prerequisites for Chemical Engineering 231 and 245.
Biological Sciences Note
Chemistry Courses are Key Pre-requisites
Biological Sciences majors are strongly encouraged to complete 2 semesters of
general chemistry and of organic chemistry before transferring. These are prerequisites for many upper-level biological sciences courses.
Biological Sciences BS requires:
9 hours of general chemistry (Chem 1,2,3 &4)
8 hours of organic chemistry (Chem 221 & 226, 223 & 228)
3 hours of general biochemistry (Chem 361)
