• High school diploma, GED, or Associate Degree or higher from an accredited educational institution

I do not meet the algebra requirement. What can I do?

You can submit college math placement test scores to meet our algebra requirement for entry into the program. Simply take a math placement test at a community college and submit your results demonstrating that you place into Math 65 or higher. If you need assistance with the basics of algebra prior to taking your test, see Algebra Help and Math League. The following local community colleges offer placement testing:

• Portland Community College – place into Math 65 or higher
• Clackamas Community College – place into Math 65 or higher
• Chemeketa Community College – place into Math 70 or higher
• Mt. Hood Community College – place into Math 65 or higher
