Science: Mathematics Specialization, A.S.

Associate of Science
880-04

Purpose: This curriculum is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution and major in mathematics, mathematics education, or statistics. This program is suitable for students pursing baccalaureate degrees in physics, chemistry, engineering, or computer science.

Developmental Requirements: Students who do not place into college-level English on the placement test will be required to take developmental courses.

Students who do not demonstrate proficiency on the placement test in the following mathematical units will be required to complete developmental courses: MTE 1 , MTE 2 , MTE 3 , MTE 4 , MTE 5 , MTE 6 , MTE 7 , MTE 8  and MTE 9 . Additionally, students who do not demonstrate mastery in pre-calculus with trigonometry on the placement test will be required to complete MTH 166  prior to enrolling in MTH 173 .

It is strongly recommended that developmental education requirements be completed as soon as possible.

While a course may satisfy a requirement for a Virginia Western program, it may not fulfill a requirement at a four-year institution. Students who intend to transfer should verify specific program requirements with their four-year institution.
