Mathematics – Education
Program Goals & Outcomes
The Associate of Science degree program provides students with the analytical skills and scientific knowledge to expand and apply critical thinking to all facets of learning. The expected program outcome is to provide a comprehensive lower-division education for students who plan to transfer to a baccalaureate degree program in mathematics.
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Communicate using mathematical vocabulary and notation;
- Produce mathematical representations to model quantitative relationships;
- Perform differential calculus operations;
- Perform integral calculus operations; and
- Perform multivariable calculus operations.

Suggested Order of Enrollment
This plan shows one possible grouping of Program Requirements, and their prerequisite courses, that would allow students to graduate in 2 years. Students must enroll in a combination of General Education and Program Requirements to complete the degree. Consult with the STEM division advisor each semester to verify that selected courses will fulfill degree requirements. Check the College Catalog and/or class schedule for course offering specifics. The “+” symbol represents a prerequisite for the course. Any course offering is subject to change without notice.
