Program Overview

Mathematical ability and analytical reasoning are among the most in-demand job skills today. The mathematics program is designed to give students the analytical and logical thinking skills necessary for solving problems in a variety of contexts such as science, business, computer programming, social science, and engineering. It can also provide students with sufficient understanding of mathematical concepts, skills, and applications to succeed in upper-division coursework in math at a four-year college or university.
