Mathematics and Sciences

The Liberal Arts & Sciences: MATH/SCIENCE Program is designed especially for those students preparing to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a major in a Mathematics or in a Natural or Physical Science field.

See the specific Program Requirements in the Catalog.

Getting your  Associate's degree in LAS: Math/Science is a great start toward a career in the following areas:

Mathematical Sciences: Physical/Natural Sciences: Health Fields:
  • Mathematics
  • Math - Secondary Education
  • Actuarial Science
  • Statistics
  • Astronomy
  • Biology
  • Earth Science
  • Ecology
  • Environmental Science
  • Forensic Science
  • Geology
  • Physics
  • Science - Secondary Education
  • Chiropractic Medicine
  • Dental Medicine
  • Medical Lab Technician
  • Medicine
  • Optometry / Ophthamology
  • Physical Therapy
  • Veterinary Technology
  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Related Health Fields

The program involves a more rigorous and concentrated level of mathematics and science than the other Liberal Arts and Sciences programs, but still allows approximately 21 hours of electives for use to focus in their specific area of choice or to broaden their experiences and background.

Graduates of this program earn an Associates in Science (A.S.) Degree.
