A Basic Mathematical Skills Competency requirement is one of the requirements for an undergraduate degree from East Stroudsburg University.

This requirement applies to all students, first-year or transfer, who have been admitted to ESU, beginning with those students admitted during Summer 1999.

Satisfying this requirement depends on the type of student:

  • New First-Year and Transfer Students for Fall 2024 should complete the ALEKS Placement test.
  • Students who Started at ESU Prior to Fall 2024:
    • If you have a Math SAT score of 500 or higher, please provide that information to the university or Mathematics Department.
    • If you transfer a math course to ESU with a grade of C or higher, you will have satisfied the ESU Basic Mathematical Skills Competency requirement.
    • If you need to take a math course for your program or you want to take a math course for other reasons, please complete the ALEKS Placement test.
    • For all other students, the University is in the process of creating a procedure for returning students to satisfy the ESU Basic Mathematical Skills Competency requirement. These details will be posted on this site as soon as they become available.
