Placement Testing for the College of Arts and Letters
Math Placement
- Economics Majors - ALEKS Placement should be taken (1) by students who did not complete Algebra I and II in high school and (2) by students with Math ACT below 22 or Math SAT below 520 (New SAT below 550).
- Psychology Majors - ALEKS Placement is required for students with Math ACT below 20 or Math SAT below 480 (New SAT below 510).

*Math Placement Tests: All students requiring a Math placement test are strongly advised to take the on-line ALEKS placement to insure appropriate Math enrollment. ALEKS provides up to six months of online tutorials to improve your knowledge and two opportunities to retake the test to improve your placement. Students can complete the tutorials and test from any computer in any location. If the end result is a higher math placement, ALEKS is well worth the nominal cost. New students are encouraged to plan ahead and allow adequate time to complete the ALEKS process in order to have final ALEKS test scores prior to their registered Rocket Launch Orientation dates.
