MATH 1314 College Algebra

MATH 1314 College Algebra

Starting Fall 2019, there is a three-hour and a four-hour College Algebra. MATH 1314 is the three-hour version, and is for students who are NOT going on to Precalculus and the Calculus sequence. This course does not satisfy the prerequisite for MATH 2412 Precalculus.

Going on to Calculus? Check out MATH 1414 College Algebra.

In many programs, students may use MATH 1332 Contemporary Math or MATH 1342 Elementary Statistics to fulfill the math requirement rather than MATH 1314. Check the requirements of your program at ACC and at the school to which you wish to transfer.

Placement and prerequisites

College Algebra is a fast-paced course, which many students find challenging. Make sure that you have adequate background in math before registering. If you did not recently successfully complete the prerequisite course, take a placement test at any ACC Assessment Center and meet with an advisor to find out what course is best for you.
