PRE-CURRICULUM COURSES
Delaware Tech students who wish to take a total of 11 credits or more must take the College Placement Test administered by the Admissions Office. Students who have a prior degree from Delaware Tech or another institution of higher learning are exempt from this requirement if an official transcript is sent to Admissions.
The College Placement Test evaluates three areas: reading, writing and 'mathematics. Test scores in those three areas determine which pre-requisite courses, if any, need to be taken. The following is a listing of pre-curriculum (pre-technical) courses which are prescribed if a need is indicated by the placement test.
