Associate of Science (A.S.) · Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
Total Credits Required: 60 (Associate) · 120 (Bachelor)
The Mathematics and Physics program is designed for students who want a foundation in pure and applied mathematics carried into physics. It is intended for analytical minds — future engineers, teachers, analysts, and the honestly spreadsheet-obsessed.
The program combines a progressive mathematics sequence with physics and a computational elective. The Physics concentration deepens mechanics and the physical sciences; the Statistics and Data Analysis concentration turns toward modeling and quantitative work with real data.
Together, these requirements are intended to prepare students for analytical and technical roles, teaching pathways, and continued study in mathematics, physics, or data-driven fields.
