Overview

Overview

The Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts with a Concentration in Mathematics creates a flexible pathway for students to explore mathematical sciences from various start points (e.g., starting at Calculus I or College Algebra & Trigonometry). This research-based curriculum with a focus on scientific inquiry, problem-solving, logical reasoning, and critical thinking prepares students for transfer to four-year colleges and universities in mathematics. This program has established course equivalences with the University System of New Hampshire.

Analyze, Read, Interpret, Critique

The AA in Liberal Arts Mathematics Concentration provides students with opportunities to analyze contemporary issues in mathematics and science as students learn to read, interpret, critique, and respond to mathematical and scientific literature while exploring projects connected to their passions, talents, and interests. The mathematics concentration is sufficiently flexible to prepare students to transfer into four-year mathematical science majors or to explore a variety of mathematics courses while meeting students at different entry points.
