Program Description: An Associate of Science degree can be earned through the study of Mathematics. It requires a minimum of 63 credit hours of coursework, including 22 hours of mathematics courses and 8 hours of physics courses. All classes are transferable to other schools in the state system of higher education and most other universities and colleges. These courses will prepare a student for completion of a mathematics or mathematics education degree at a four year institution. Students in this program also complete General Education requirements.
Transfer/Articulation Information: Requirements at four-year colleges and universities are subject to change; ongoing planning is essential. Admission into a major program at a transfer institution depends upon the receiving institution’s requirements for that major. Some major programs are restricted and require special application as well as a competitive GPA. See an Academic Advisor at both SLCC and the intended receiving institution for specific articulation information.
Program Entry Requirements:
The following courses must be completed with a C grade or better:
It is the student’s responsibility to examine each course description for details of prerequisite classes. Those prerequisites must be satisfied within the previous one year before the designated class may be taken.
Estimated Time to Completion: If students follow the suggested semester schedule, time to completion is four semesters.
