Mathematics

The AA and AS Mathematics programs build a strong mathematical foundation and prepares students for a baccalaureate degree in engineering, physics, applied and pure mathematics, and other STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) at most four-year institutions by providing the mathematics courses required of students at most institutions during the freshman and sophomore years for these specialties.

The significance of STEM specialties, with mathematics at its core, has been widely recognized by its implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy. A strong mathematics foundation is a requirement for many highly regarded careers. Research shows that mathematicians have better jobs. An AS degree in mathematics leads directly to a BS degree and more advanced degrees in fields such as Physics, Actuarial Science, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Computational Science, Psychology, Biochemistry, Robotics, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Information Science, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Optics, Nanotechnology, Nuclear Physics, Mathematical Biology, Operations Research, Neurobiology, Biomechanics, Bioinformatics, Acoustical engineering, Geographic Information Systems, Atmospheric Sciences, Educational/Instructional technology, Software Engineering, and Educational Research.
