Please apply directly into Associate of Science
Gain a strong foundation for almost any career in the natural sciences, social sciences, computer science or a host of other fields with the Associate of Science in Mathematics. Studying mathematics will help you build your ability to think logically and critically and have persistence and creativity in doing so, skills that are important in many fields.
You’ll study basic algebra, pre-calculus and calculus, introductory statistics, discrete mathematics for computing science, mathematics for prospective elementary school teachers and mathematics for liberal arts, as well as take electives in other subject areas.
Get work experience during your education
Put your skills to work by joining the optional Co-operative Education Program, which alternates semesters of study with paid, full-time work in your field. You’ll earn money while gaining experience, building your resume and getting an employer reference, all before you graduate. To participate in Co-op you need to plan two semesters in advance, so we strongly recommend contacting the Co-op Office at the start of your program.
University transfer options
The associate degree in mathematics can lead to a bachelor's degree program at a university. In most cases, an associate degree will allow you to enter the third year of a four-year bachelor’s degree program. To make sure your courses transfer, use the BC Transfer Guide.
