Program Goal: The study of mathematics provides a foundation of logic, reasoning and calculation skills and an experience in current technology that will enable the student to succeed in his/her chosen career, whether or not it is a mathematical field. Challenges and methods of operating serve to increase one’s problem-solving capabilities and critical thinking skills. Note: Some classes require that students have access to a graphing calculator. A TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator is recommended. All students must earn 4 credit hours in Mathematics prior to graduation.
