An associate degree in mathematics prepares students for bachelor programs in mathematics or a related field. The Mathematics program does more than provide services for the College’s other programs through the rigorous math curriculum. The program can be applied to almost every career, including but not limited to statistical analysis, computer science, engineering, economics, education, or research in related fields. Credits earned to complete the requirements of the General Education Core cannot be used to fulfill the concentration requirements of the program.
