Mathematics Transfer Degree Program

The Math program provides the fundamental mathematics courses to prepare general students and math and engineering majors for transfer to a four-year institution. 

A student’s class choices should be planned with the requirements of the transfer institution in mind.  See your advisor for enrollment information and transfer institution requirements.

Most students who decide to major in Mathematics at a four-year institution will plan a course of study that will lead to an Associate in Science Degree.

Recommended Courses for Students Planning to Major in Mathematics

Course Code Course Title Credit Hrs.
MATH-115 Calculus with Analytic Geometry I 5
MATH-120 Calculus with Analytic Geometry II 5
MATH-201 Calculus with Analytic Geometry III 3
MATH-202 Differential Equations 3
