Associate in Science in Math
Mathematics is a multifaceted subject of great beauty and application. Mathematics courses provide the student with a universal language used to study quantities and relationships in all fields. Through the study of mathematics, the student develops the ability to think logically and abstractly, as well as developing the problem solving and computational skills necessary for success in any field of study.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Students will solve mathematical problems involving algebra, trigonometry, calculus and/or statistics.
- Students will solve applied problems by employing mathematical concepts to formulate and solve representative mathematical models.
- Students will apply apply appropriate technology to analyze and solve problems.
To earn this degree, students must meet the following requirements:
- Completion of 60 degree applicable units with an overall GPA of 2.0.
- Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in the major with a grade of C (or P) or better.
- Completion of the AS Graduation Requirements, CSU GE-B or IGETC.
