Pre Calculus

Yes, in theory. However, many colleges have an advisory or mandatory math placement exam to check that (for example) students who want to take calculus know their precalculus material. If your high school precalculus course is of high quality and you do well in it, you are likely to do well enough on such a math placement exam to take calculus.
