Program Description
An Associate of Science degree can be earned through the study of Mathematics. The courses will prepare a student for completion of a mathematics or mathematics education degree at a four-year institution.

Math Department Live-Proctoring Testing Rule: All math department exams, regular exams or the final exam, must be live-proctored for all modalities offered through the department. Online and broadcast students are required to take their exams at an SLCC testing center facility or, if outside a 50-mile radius, coordinate with the testing center for a proctoring site nearer to their home. Any accommodations to this rule must be approved by the SLCC Disability Resource Center. Students are encouraged to make arrangements early in a semester with employers and families to ensure they are free during the scheduled exam period.

Transfer/Articulation Information
Please refer to the Student Resources section of the SLCC University Transfer webpage.
