Mathematics Transfer Pathway
This pathway prepares students for careers that require a solid mathematical foundation such as information technology and data analysis. Students who transfer to a four-year institution to major in mathematics can pursue such careers as actuarial science, math education, data science, and many other STEM fields.
Core pathway Courses:
BIO 11700 Cell & Molecular Biology for STEM Majors (4 cr.)
CHE 10101 General Chemistry I AND CHE 10102 General Chemistry II (5 cr.)
ECO 20100 Principles of Economics – MACRO OR ECO 20200 Principles of Economics – MICRO (3 cr.)
ENG 10303 English Composition I OR ENG 10305 Integrated Composition (3-4 cr.)
