Liberal Arts & Sciences: Mathematics (A.S.)
Liberal Arts & Sciences: Mathematics (A.S.)–This program is designed for students who intend to transfer to a baccalaureate program in mathematics, mathematics education (secondary), or a related applied field. Graduates of the program should be able to complete the baccalaureate degree in two years of additional full-time study. The program includes liberal arts courses to provide a broadbased general education, plus computer science and science courses to augment the extensive mathematics component. The mathematics core develops knowledge in three basic areas of mathematics learning: proof and theory, algorithms, and applications. The computer component develops important ancillary skills.

Students must meet the SUNY General Education requirements for "Diversity: Equity,
Inclusion, and Social Justice" (attribute: SDES) and "Civic Discourse" (attribute:
SCIV) by choosing electives that have those attributes.
- Depending on placement
- General Education Electives:
- 3 credits in NCC Humanities (attribute: HUM)
- 6 credits in NCC Social Science (attribute: SBS)
Across these three courses, at least two different SUNY General Education categories must be represented, selected from: The Arts (SART), World Languages (SWOL), Social Sciences (SSBS), U.S. History and Civic Engagement (SUSC), or World History and Global Awareness (SWHI). The two SUNY GE courses may occur in any semester.
If any course has the SDES or SCIV attribute, it will apply toward the associated SUNY GE requirement.
Advising Note:
Students are encouraged to speak with an academic advisor about course sequence options. Completing a sequence may strengthen transfer applications and better prepare students for advanced study. - Select any 3 credit HED course.
If the course has the SDES or SCIV attribute, it will apply toward the associated SUNY GE requirement. - Select any 3 credit course, except mathematics
courses numbered MAT 122 or lower.
If the course has the SDES or SCIV attribute, it will apply toward the associated SUNY GE requirement.
