Description
Return to: Degrees, Certificates, and Microcredentials Specialization: Biology Specialization: Mathematics Specialization: Chemistry The Mathematics and Science A.S. program is a university-parallel program. Depending on the selection of electives students will be prepared to transfer to a 4-year college or university to pursue a bachelor’s degree in biological science, physical science, chemistry, biotechnology, mathematics, forestry, or other related fields. Advisors can help identify suitable transfer programs and help students choose appropriate elective courses. To help match course selections to academic and career goals, three specializations are offered. Mission Statement The mission of the Mathematics and Science A.S. degree program is to provide the community with an equitable and high-quality math and science education that supports transfer and career goals. Program Learning Outcomes Successful graduates of this program will be able to: All Specializations/General: Cultivate mathematical knowledge and skills. Explain the scientific method. Master a knowledge base in the scientific field. Timely Graduation Considerations It is recommended that students entering the Mathematics and Science program have completed four years of high school mathematics and as much science as possible, including chemistry and physics. Students with less preparation may need extra time to complete all degree requirements.
