About our Liberal Studies
Associate Degree: Mathematics Focus
For some, the mere mention of trigonometry or the notion of algebra is enough to provoke terror. But not you. You see the beauty in a perfectly solved equation and draw satisfaction in the knowledge that the laws of mathematics can answer all problems – given enough time and ingenuity. For you, math makes sense. And there are many roads where the study of mathematics can take you – from forensic accounting to high finance, programming to economics.
You can start on any of those paths at SMCC, by getting an Associate in Arts degree in Liberal Studies with a focus in Mathematics. The program prepares students to transfer to a baccalaureate program and is built on a foundation of general education classes, supplemented with elective courses that focus heavily on relevant coursework with some specialization in the area of mathematics.
Please note: You are only eligible to receive one Associate in Arts in Liberal Studies degree. You may not receive a second or subsequent degree in Liberal Studies with a different focus.
