ASNSM in Mathematics

Transfer Your Credit
Have you attended college before? If so, you may be able to transfer credits earned at other regionally accredited colleges or universities. The College also offers a variety of other ways to earn credit - all designed around the needs of adult learners, like you.




The Associate in Science in Natural Sciences and Mathematics (ASNSM) degree in Mathematics emphasizes general education and is designed to provide a basis for transfer into the Bachelor of Arts degree programs in Mathematics, or Natural Science/Mathematics. This 60-credit program provides students with a basic mathematical background the opportunity to further utilize their skills in the advanced study of mathematics.
