PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Associates in Science degree is a program that offers students the mathematics courses needed for their first two years of a mathematics degree at most four-year institutions. Our courses start at College Math, work their way through the developmental series to College Algebra,Trigonometry, Pre-calculus, Statistics, Discrete Math, and Calculus. The Calculus series highest class offered is Differential Equations. The goals of all the mathematics courses are not just to prepare students for future math classes, beyond Differential Equations, but to develop an understanding and appreciation of how mathematics is used and applied in real-world situations. With small class sizes, our professors can help each student achieve what they are striving for in their chosen math class. This degree fulfills the College’s mission of developing skills in written communication, oral communication, and critical thinking while advancing knowledge in diversity and social responsibility. The semester-by-semester plans described below are general guidelines. Students should work closely with their academic advisors to develop a plan that best meets their own individual needs and goals.
