Mathematics

Whether your plan is to transfer to a four-year college or university, enter a STEM-related field, or pursue a career in education, we provide students with the foundation to achieve their goals. 

Math majors study quantities, forms, and symbolic logic in such subjects as algebra, geometry, calculus, logic, topology, and number theory. As a math major, you’ll master this language and learn how to use it to describe and better understand the world.

If you enjoy solving problems, recognizing patterns, and working through intellectual challenges, mathematics may be an excellent fit for you.
