As a tool, mathematics is necessary for understanding and expressing ideas in science, engineering and human affairs. Additionally, Mathematics is integrally related to computer science and statistics, which have proven invaluable to advancing research and modern industrial technology. The Mathematics curriculum academically prepares the student to transfer to a four-year university to complete a Baccalaureate degree in mathematics or a related discipline.\n\n### Program Requirements"
