Mathematics

This program is open to interested students who have demonstrated readiness for English 101 and Math 171, either by passing the appropriate placement 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.

All general education requirements necessary for graduation are met through the courses in the program as indicated above. Students who wish to take courses that differ from the general education courses indicated above must complete a course substitution request form. To access the form, login to the MyCCP portal, and in the Student tab, under Electronic Forms, click on the Records and Registration Forms link, then choose Request For Course Substitution Of Graduation Requirement link. A more detailed explanation of the College's general education requirements is also available.

To qualify for the A.S. degree in Mathematics, students must complete a minimum of 60 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.

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.

Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:

• Prove mathematical statements.
• Solve mathematical problems.
• Execute mathematical algorithms.
