Mathematics

This program leads to an A.S. degree in Mathematics. The primary goal of the program is to prepare students for transfer to a baccalaureate program in mathematics. This curriculum provides freshman and sophomore level courses in both continuous and discrete mathematics.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this program graduates will be able to:

• Communicate mathematical ideas.
• Construct mathematical proofs.
• Analyze and solve mathematical problems.
• Construct recursive procedures to perform complex tasks.
• Learn and apply algorithms.
• Transfer courses to a baccalaureate program in math or science.

Program Entry Requirements:
This program is open to interested students who have demonstrated readiness for English 101 and Math 171, either by passing the appropriate placement test or by meeting the prerequisites for the course. Selected math and English courses are available for those not meeting entrance requirements. An educational plan leading to acceptance into the program will be developed for each applicant who does not meet the entrance requirements.

Program of Study and Graduation Requirements:
To qualify for the A.S. degree in Mathematics, students must complete
a minimum of 63 credit hours as prescribed and attain a grade point average of 2.0 (“C” average).

Since science requirements vary at transfer institutions, students are advised to check requirements at transfer institutions before choosing science electives.
