Pathway
Most of us are comfortable using everyday mathematics, but higher level mathematics, such as calculus, may seem mysterious, a completely unfamiliar language. As a mathematics student, you’ll study this language and learn how to use it to describe the world. You’ll explore calculus, modern algebra, and other high-level mathematics in the purest light. If you love to solve puzzles, enjoy finding patterns and discovering whether something is true or false, this could be the pathway for you. If it all adds up, you might become a computer scientist, a mathematics instructor, a financial analyst, a mathematician, a statistician and more.
This is an example course sequence for students interested in pursuing Mathematics. This does not represent a contract, nor does it guarantee course availability. If this pathway is followed as outlined, you will earn an Associate in Science (AS) degree. One course will satisfy the Human Diversity (HD) requirement, and is labeled with an (HD) in the sequence below. Following this pathway will help you get your associate degree, which will increase your chances of transfer to bachelor’s-level programs of study. Choose Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) courses to fulfill general education requirements whenever possible. Visit www.itransfer.org and speak with your college advisor to learn more about IAI.
Recommended electives may vary by transfer institution. Choose your courses with your College Advisor.
Institution-specific transfer guides and agreements can be found on CCC's transfer site.
