This degree is designed to provide a foundation in mathematics and to meet common lower-division requirements for a major in Mathematics or Statistics at many four-year institutions. It is highly recommended that students meet with a counselor because major and general education requirements vary for each college/university.

NOTE TO TRANSFER STUDENTS:

If you are interested in transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, it is critical that you meet with a CRC counselor to select and plan the courses for your major. Schools vary widely in terms of the required preparation. The courses that CRC requires for an Associate’s degree in Mathematics may be different from the courses required for the Bachelor’s degree.
