The Mathematics Program at CCC

The Mathematics program at Coffeyville Community College is designed for students who intend to transfer to a 4-year college or university degree program.  The associate in arts degree is the most appropriate degree option for Mathematics majors.

Associate in Arts Degree

This degree is meant to transfer to a baccalaureate degree granting institution. The student must complete 64 semester hours with a grade point average of 2.00 (C) or above. There is a minimum cumulative general education requirement of 35 semester hours. A minimum number of semester credit hours will be required in each of the fields listed below. NOTE: No courses numbered below 100 apply. 

I.  Written and Oral Communications (9 hours)
# Written Communications I
# Written Communications II

and any ONE of the following:
# Advanced Composition
# Creative Writing
# Public Speaking
# Interpersonal & Group Communications
# Technical Writing

II.  Social and Behavioral Sciences

A minimum of 6 credit hours from the following:
# Economics
# Government
# Psychology
# Sociology

III.  Natural Sciences and Math (8 hours)

Mathematics*

A minimum of 3 credit hours from the following:
# College Algebra** or Higher Level Math

Natural Science*

A minimum of 5 credit hours from the following:
# Biology
# Chemistry

VI.   Lifetime Fitness Concepts (2 hours)

VII.  College Orientation (1 hour)**

VIII.  Area of Interest (29 semester hours)

Although the area of interest requirement can be completed with college-level courses in any academic area, the area of interest hours are mostly fulfilled by courses in the students intended major.  For Mathematics majors, math courses offered by Coffeyville Community College include Elementary Statistics, Calculus with Analytical Geometry I, Calculus with Analytical Geometry II, Calculus with Analytical Geometry III and Differential Equations.

* Student should check with advisor for specific course requirements at transfer institution.  The specific classes taken by a Mathematics major will largely depend upon the requirements of their intended transfer college/university.

** College Orientation is required for all first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students.

Sample Course Schedule

Your course schedule will depend on the general education and major requirements of your intended transfer institution and on your preparedness for college-level work.  Below is a sample four-semester degree plan for a typical Mathematics major that starts his course work at CCC in the fall semester.
