Division of Arts and Sciences
Department of Mathematics Mathematics
The curricula listed for the Division of Arts and Sciences are designed for the student pursuing the associate degree and/or transfer to a university. There are, however, certain specializations in the department for which a package of courses is recommended. Examples of those course plans are outlined below. For many of these plans, students are assumed to have proficiency in algebra and plane trigonometry. If a deficiency exists in these areas, students are advised to take MATH 1314 — College Algebra, and MATH 1316 — Plane Trigonometry during the summer prior to enrollment the first year. Course plans beginning with MATH 2413 require that students have prior credit in MATH 1314 and 1316 either by course work or proficiency examination. Students majoring in areas represented in the Department of Mathematics should follow the suggested course plans to satisfy the Associate in Science degree requirements. Some variation of these plans may be necessary to meet baccalaureate requirements at a particular college or university. Regardless of the area of specialization, the student who plans to transfer should examine the requirements of the college he or she plans to attend. Various 2+2 degree plans exist with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, The University of Texas-San Antonio, and other state institutions.
