Mathematics - A.S. (TTP)
The Associate of Science (Mathematics) is a two-year program for students planning to continue their education to earn a bachelor’s degree in mathematics or closely related fields such as Actuarial Science or Statistical Analysis. Mathematics majors take a core collection of classes in calculus, mathematical reasoning, linear algebra, computer programming, probability, statistics, and mathematical modeling. These courses introduce students to a solid foundation of mathematics and provide content knowledge, problem-solving skills, and logical reasoning skills.
Mathematics and Science - A.S.
The Associate of Science (Mathematics and Science) is a two-year program for students planning to transfer to a university to earn a bachelor’s degree within the mathematics and science arena. This degree plan permits greater flexibility than other published curriculum guides may offer. Area of emphasis courses are chosen from university parallel courses within the Math and Science division including ASTR, BIOL, CHEM, ENGR (130 or higher), GEOL, ISCI, MATH (1720 or higher), PHYS, and/or PSCI.
