The Mathematics Associate of Science degree is structured to offer three distinct degree pathways, each tailored to different career objectives and areas of interest. The degree pathways allow students to align their studies with specific career goals in fields like engineering, research, mathematics education, data analysis and more. The curriculum for the three Mathematics degree pathways ranges from 60-62 credits with core requirements common to all three degrees.
The curriculum shown on this page is for the Mathematics - Physics Pathway.
This program will provide you with a robust foundation in mathematics, physics and related disciplines. Emphasizing the mathematical aspects of physical theories and applications, this pathway will prepare you for further study or a career in physics and related fields.
The Physics Pathway of the Mathematics degree program prepare students to pursue a 4-year degree in Physics or Physics Education, offering a curriculum that encompasses both general mathematics concentration and specialized mathematics and physics courses. Courses are carefully selected to align with the typical requirements found in the first two years of a bachelor’s degree in physics.
The program will also prepare students to pursue a bachelor’s degree in mathematics education, engineering and related disciplines. Courses are also relevant for those planning to pursue a career in business, finance, strategic planning or quality improvement.
Graduates of this program will be able to:
- Demonstrate applicable problem solving ability in completing mathematical practices.
- Apply mathematical principles to other disciplines including physical and life sciences, technologies, social sciences and business.
- Communicate in the language of mathematics effectively using appropriate mathematical terminology, both verbally and written.
- Use logical reasoning in understanding mathematical proofs.
