Mathematics, Associate of Science (AS)
The Mathematics department strives to provide our students with the educational background necessary to pursue a successful career and to successfully transition into a baccalaureate institution. Each year, the list of careers demanding familiarity with basic mathematical skills grows. Environmental sciences, architecture, business management, nursing, dentistry, computer programming, electronics, forestry management, psychology and photography represent only a small sample from this list.
