As a Mizzougraduate, you must be able to understand complexproblems that go beyond your academic field and acceptthe responsibilities given to you as a well-educated leader ofsociety. Through your studies, you will acquire:• Skills, knowledge and attitudes expected of informed andresponsible citizens;• Proficiency in writing, speaking, mathematics, computeruse and information management;• Increased understanding of the nature of knowledgeand the ways of thinking in the social and behavioralsciences, in the physical and biological sciences, and inthe humanities and fine arts.All Mizzou students must complete the general educationrequirements. With careful planning, some courses maymeet both university general education requirementsand one or more of the divisional, degree and majorrequirements.University general education requirements for all degreesinclude the following:• College Algebra (see Page 5 for information)• English Exposition and Argumentation: English 1000 or1000H or transferable equivalent (3 credits). This coursein expository prose, which stresses writing as a processinvolving critical reading and thinking skills, should betaken during your freshman year.• Writing Intensive course (3 credits)• American History or Government (3 credits)• Math Reasoning Proficiency (MRP) course (3 credits).College Algebra is a prerequisite for MRP courses.• Distribution of Content (27 credits) providing a breadthand depth of knowledge in four broad areas of study:social sciences, behavioral sciences, humanities and naturalsciences. Course work must include at least one coursenumbered 2000 or higher in two of the areas of distribution.Many departments, degrees and majors have more specificrequirements for foundation course work in addition to theuniversity’s general education requirement. However, theopposite is not true. Departments or academic units may nothave fewer general education requirements than describedby the university’s general education requirements.Careful planning will allow students to meet universitygeneral education requirements and prepare for many ofthe more specific foundation courses required in their fieldsof study.newstudent.missouri.edu 3

MATHFluency in mathematics is a critical part of your collegeeducation. As part of the MU General EducationRequirements, all Mizzou students must have credit (orexemption) for College Algebra before graduating.THE ALEKS ASSESSMENTMU uses ALEKS to place students into an appropriate mathcourse for their skill level. ALEKS is an online assessmenttool that identifies the strengths and weaknesses of a student’scurrent mathematical knowledge. The ALEKS assessmentis administered online and covers a variety of precalculustopics. It may be taken up to five times for free, and an onlinestudy/review package is available after you complete your firstassessment. To take the ALEKS assessment, or to learn more,visit mathplacement.missouri.edu.Most students will be required to take the ALEKS assessmentin order to qualify for a math course. However, some studentswith prior math credit may not need to take the assessment.To find out if the ALEKS assessment is required for you, visitmathplacement.missouri.edu and complete a short survey.Students may be placed into one of the following coursesbased on their ALEKS scores:• Math 0110 — Intermediate Algebra• Math 1100 — College Algebra• Math 1140 — Trigonometry• Math 1160 — Precalculus• Math 1400 — Calculus for Social and Life Sciences I• Math 1500 — Calculus IStudents may place into higher-level math courses throughAP or IB credit, and engineering students may request aplacement test from the College of Engineering if furtherplacement verification is needed.IMPORTANT: The Department of Mathematics will verifyyou have met the required prerequisites for any math course inwhich you are enrolled, and you may be dropped from your mathcourse if you do not satisfy those requirements. Your adviser mayhave enrolled you in a math course based on other factors, but youmay still be required to take the ALEKS assessment or to provide atranscript which demonstrates transfer credit. Students who have notprovided documentation satisfying the course prerequisites will bedropped from their math course.For more information about mathprerequisites and math course placement,visit mathplacement.missouri.edu.COLLEGE ALGEBRA REQUIREMENTTo satisfy the College Algebra general education requirementat Mizzou, students must do ONE of the following:• Complete Math 1100 or Math 1160 with a C- grade orhigher (or transferable equivalent).• Complete a calculus course at MU (Math 1400, 1500,1700, or 2300) with a C- grade or higher, which providesback-credit for Math 1100 (or 1160).• Pass the proctored ALEKS exam with a sufficient score,thereby demonstrating proficiency in College Algebra(see below).NOTE: Students may be exempt from the College Algebrarequirement based on their ACT or SAT math subscore. Exemptstudents are eligible to take any course with College Algebra as aprerequisite outside the math department. Students who plan totake a math course above College Algebra will still need to earn aminimum ALEKS score for their mathematics course placement.Visit mathplacement.missouri.edu for more information.INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA (MATH 0110)If you do not earn the minimum ALEKS score to place intoCollege Algebra, you will be placed into Intermediate Algebra.This course does not provide credit toward graduation, but itdoes provide the background needed to prepare you forCollege Algebra.COLLEGE ALGEBRA (MATH 1100)College Algebra is available in two styles at Mizzou. Bothversions have the same course content, homework, exams andcredit hours, but the amount of time spent in class differs:Math 1100 (three-day)Open to students with higher ALEKS scores, this versionmeets three days each week.Math 1100 (five-day)Open to all students who qualify for College Algebra, thisversion meets five days each week, with two of those daysdevoted to additional practice.PROCTORED ALEKS EXAMSome students may choose to take a proctored version ofthe ALEKS assessment in order to receive course creditfor College Algebra. If your intended major does notrequire a math course beyond College Algebra, or if youplan to take Math 1300 (Finite Mathematics), you may wishto take the proctored exam, which can be scheduled bycalling the MU Office of Testing Services at 573-882-4801.To learn more about the proctored assessment, visitmathplacement.missouri.edu.newstudent.missouri.edu 5
