 Return to: Programs of Study by Department
Award: Associate of Science
Degree Code: ASMA
Number of Credits: 60
Program Description
The Associate of Science Mathematics prepares students to transfer to a four-year institution for continued study in mathematics, and/or mathematics education. As technology increases, the level of mathematics in the job market also increases. A two-year degree in mathematics gives students analytical skills that are valued in industry. A four-year degree in mathematics opens doors in many areas not traditionally thought of as mathematical. Business, industry, and government hire people who earn a bachelor’s degree in mathematics to provide support services involving analysis modeling or scientific computing. The computer literacy requirement will be met throughout the course work in the degree program.
Transfer Information
