Mathematics
The Associate of Science degree with emphasis in mathematics prepares students to transfer to a university for a major in mathematics, statistics, applied mathematics, or mathematics education. Statistics trains students in analysis of data. Employment is often found in insurance companies, research, and government. Applied mathematics emphasizes applications and computer programming and prepares students to find employment in business, industry and government. Mathematics education prepares students to teach at the secondary level.
