HEGIS: 5617.00
PROGRAM CODE: 01041
PROGRAM DIRECTOR: Dr. Rina Yarmish

DEPARTMENT: MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

The Mathematics AS degree is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the fundamentals of mathematics in preparation for transfer to baccalaureate programs. Courses provide extensive background in assessing formal logical statements for validity, providing proofs by direct and indirect methods, use of differentiation and integration in problem solving, testing of infinite series for convergence or divergence, and support communication of mathematical ideas in writing.

The curriculum presented here applies to students who started the major in Fall 2022 or Spring 2023. If you enrolled as a matriculant prior to that, please see the College Catalog for the year you started the major as a matriculant for the curriculum requirements that apply to you.

Consultation with the Program Advisor is required.


Select the Degree Map Based on Initial Math Placement:

Degree Map for Mathematics, A.S. - MAT 9010 or MAT 9B0 or MAT 900 Placement  

Degree Map for Mathematics, A.S. - MAT 1500 Placement - Calculus I  

Your Degree Map contains the suggested term-by-term course sequence for your academic path towards graduation. 

To ensure successful and timely completion of your degree, it is recommended that you meet with your academic advisor to discuss your unique map. 

Please note some courses may only be offered once an academic year.
