The Math and Speech pride provides a unique opportunity for students who are entering degree programs that require calculus, but would benefit from a summer math course prior to enrolling in MATH 110 or MATH 140 in the fall semester. Students who enroll in this pride will be placed in the appropriate math course based upon the ALEKS math assessment score. They will take that math course with CAS 100A - effective speech. Please note the information below if you are interested in enrolling in the Math and Speech pride:

• The pride is reserved for students who are enrolled in colleges that house majors requiring calculus as a degree requirement. This includes majors in the colleges of Agricultural Sciences, Business, Earth and Mineral Sciences, Engineering, Science, and Division of Undergraduate Studies students who have an interest in majors within those colleges.
• Students who select this pride should not have taken calculus in high school and must complete the ALEKS math assessment by May 1, 2025. If you do not have an ALEKS score on file by May 1, 2025, we will not be able to register you in the courses for this pride. 
  • Students who have taken calculus in high school or who score a 76 or higher on the ALEKS math assessment should not enroll in this pride.
