Mathematics Department

Mathematics, Associate in Arts Degree

The program is designed to award the Associate in Arts degree to those students who have completed a specialization in mathematics. This degree program is intended to meet the needs of mathematics students who do not require a science component for their degree. The requirements were chosen to optimize student preparation for upper division coursework at a four-year institution leading to a minor in mathematics or a Bachelor’s degree in a field related to mathematics. The degree program offers training in both pure and applied mathematics leading to careers in research, business, industry, and government. In addition, many areas, such as accounting, actuarial science, finance, management, and operations research depend upon the use of mathematics in developing solutions to practical problems.
