The Associate of Science degree program in Science and Mathematics prepares students for transfer into the junior year of a baccalaureate degree program in mathematics, mathematics education or related areas such as statistics, actuarial science, computational biology, mathematical finance, etc.  This program is also recommended for those students interested in pursuing higher studies in physics and allied fields. Graduates have transferred to colleges across the country.

Graduates are able to:

  • understand and use the language and symbols of mathematics
  • apply the fundamental processes of differentiation and integration to phenomena involving change
  • utilize the concepts of mathematical modeling
  • employ logical reasoning in mathematical proof and problem-solving
  • understand the appropriate use of technology for problem-solving in such areas as calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and discrete math
  • synthesize mathematical concepts, theories and applications so as to solve mathematical problems independently
