Mathematics (AS)
Associate of Science
Transfer Program
Interest Areas:
- Science, Tech., Engr. and Math
This program leads to careers in teaching, industry, government, actuarial work, or as support for many science disciplines. The mathematics background assumed for entry is four years of high school mathematics through pre-calculus and trigonometry. These entry-level courses, if needed, are also available through the college. Completion of the following courses normally fulfills the first half of bachelor degree requirements in Math. Course selections should be tailored to match requirements defined by intended transfer institutions.
