College Algebra or Equivalent?

[*Muffin*]

I'm in a bit of a bind. Due to some trying circumstances earlier in my college career I've attempted College Algebra three times, yet have not passed it (2 withdraws, one fail). Now in order for me to take it a fourth time I not only have to pay out of state fees, but I also have to file an appeal. Right now I'm focusing on getting my AA degree so that I can transfer into a BSN program at a university, and I know I can satisfy the AA requirement with Liberal Arts or Finite Math, which I can take without all the hassle. But would that be a wise choice? Does anyone know if BSN programs would accept another college level math beside College Algebra, or is taking College Algebra the safest bet? TIA :).

I know a year old post, but I just like to throw out for anyone who comes across this thread with the same issue to consider using aleks.com

You can take your courses from their website for 19.00 a month and have it transfer to a transcript. Most colleges will accept it and your math requirement will be waived. No tests, no failing, just a simple way to knock out two pre-reqs.
