Students should select the appropriate TRS or MTH course for their program with the assistance of an advisor,
based on program requirements and course prerequisites. Students must satisfy the course prerequisites stated
in the College Catalog.
NOTE: Ranges shown are for Accuplacer subtest scores, NOT percentiles.
** REA 100 and REA 101 are strongly recommended.
