Mathematics

A.S. DEGREE

Description
This program is intended for students planning to transfer to a four year college to major in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Mathematics Education, Statistics, or a related field. The course work in this program is generally equivalent to the first two years of a typical four year program in Mathematics. Successful completion of this program will demonstrate preparation for continued study in Mathematics at the junior level.
Admission to this program requires that the student has completed MTH 175 (Precalculus) with a grade of C or higher, or high school Precalculus with a grade of (B) 83 or higher, or MCC Level 10 Mathematics placement.
Students in this program are encouraged to consult with an advisor in the Mathematics Department.

Program Learning Outcomes
1.Express mathematical ideas in various ways such as symbolically, graphically, numerically, or verbally.
2.Apply and interpret advanced mathematical symbols, procedures or methods with proficiency.
3.Solve problems by applying appropriate analytical methods.
4.Develop mathematical models for application problems.
5.Construct mathematical arguments using theorems or definitions.
6.Formulate mathematical proofs.

Requirements for Program Entrance
MTH 175 with a grade of C or higher, or high school Precalculus with a grade of B (83) or higher, or MCC Level 10 Mathematics placement.

*Students are strongly encouraged to check with the institution to which they intend to transfer to ensure selection of appropriate electives. Mathematics majors are encouraged to consider MTH 225 as an elective after MTH 211 has been completed with a grade of C or higher. Students interested in studying Probability and Statistics might also consider MTH 260 after MTH 212 (or both MTH 211 and MTH 220) have been completed with a grade of C or higher. Note: MTH 160 and MTH 161 can also be taken as electives in this program, although these courses may not be applicable towards a Mathematics major at some four year colleges.
**Choose any two of the following: BIO 155, BIO 156, CHE 151, CHE 152, GEO 101, GEO 102, PHY 161, PHY 261, GEG 101 with GEG 100, GEG 111 with GEG 110.
***If the student has already completed a course designated as SUNY-CTRN, this requirement is considered an open elective
****CSC 101 is strongly recommended.
#This 3-credit elective may not be necessary if the student has already completed three 4-credit electives and has the minimum 12 credits of electives required for the program. The student will need to request a waiver from the Mathematics Department.
