Cert in Mathematics

This certificate is for learners heading toward careers that depend on strong mathematical skills. It gives students a firm foundation in math that supports further study or technical work. Students choose three courses from a list that includes intermediate algebra with applications, introductory statistics, college algebra, trigonometry, and two levels of calculus. The courses can transfer to other colleges as preparatory or credit-bearing classes, which makes the certificate useful for people planning to continue their education. The coursework builds math ability useful in skilled trades, technology, engineering, the sciences and further degree study. Classes are offered at multiple campuses and online, and credit for prior learning may be available to those who qualify. The certificate can serve as a stepping stone for students who later add more college study.
