Math 100 is designed to address a student's individual deficiencies in math. An Intermediate Algebra class at a community college may help the student to overcome some deficiencies, but:
- The credit will not transfer to the UA as anything but elective credit.
- The student will still need to take and pass the placement exam at the UA before moving on to higher math.
- The typical classroom setting may not address the student's individual needs.
Students who complete Math 100 at the UA often get into a university-level math class sooner than students who take courses at a local community college over summer.
