Transfer
The Associate in Science degree in Math/Science is
often a degree earned by students who are pursuing a
bachelor’s degree in transfer majors such as Biology,
Chemistry, Engineering, Environmental Studies,
Geology, Mathematics, and Physics. To explore a
bachelor’s degree in these fields, visit www.assist.org.
Please stop by the Transfer Center in Building 55 or
make an appointment with a counselor if you have
questions.
MATHEMATICS
Mathematics is a rapidly expanding, dynamic discipline
which has contributed to recent advances in astronomy,
biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine and physics.
Mathematics is truly becoming the necessary language
of a wide spectrum of knowledge.
The mathematics program is designed to accept
students at many levels of mathematical maturity and
enable them to gain the mathematical knowledge
necessary for them to achieve their goals.
Career Opportunities
An undergraduate degree in mathematics can lead to a
variety of jobs in business, industry, government, and
teaching. Mathematicians are employed by companies
in communication, computers, energy and finance.
