AA/AS in Mathematics

Grayson College grants an Associate of Science in mathematics through its science and technology pathway. The degree is meant for students who want careers that depend on quantitative reasoning, who plan to continue at a university, or who hope to teach math at some level. The program description notes that mathematical methods now reach far beyond the older strongholds of physics and chemistry. Researchers in life sciences, economics, psychology and even law turn to mathematicians for rigorous analysis, so demand for both pure and applied specialists is expected to continue. The curriculum pairs the Texas core with a sequence of mathematics courses, and the state's readiness testing requirements apply. Students should review course choices with an advisor and with the university they plan to attend.
