"All students must take or receive credit for at least one Quantitative Reasoning (QR) course as part of their General Education requirements.

Many students arrive at UNC unsure of their majors, and others change their mind once they are here. Therefore, UNC strongly recommends that incoming students take the SAT Subject Test in Mathematics Level 1 or 2 to give them more flexibility in their choice of math (QR) classes.

Students who plan to major in business, the sciences, most health professions, and similar fields will be required to take specific mathematics, statistics, and/or other courses that require Math 110 as a prerequisite. UNC does not offer a Math 110 placement test on campus.

Students planning to take courses requiring Math 110 as a prerequisite (such as Math 130 or Chem 101) must take the SAT Subject Test Level 1 or 2. A score of 520 or higher will give Math 110 placement credit. A score lower than 520 will place the student into Math 110.

Students planning to take Math 231 as their first course must take the SAT Subject Test Level 2 (not 1) and score 600 or higher. A score lower than 600 on the SAT Subject Test Level 2 can be used for Math 110 or Math 130 placement, or Math 110 placement credit. Go to the Department of Mathematics’ website for placement details."
