IECC Transfer Pathway
Mathematics
Math majors are everywhere — in finance, data science, tech, education, and research. The Mathematics transfer pathway at IECC leads to the Associate in Science and Arts degree and gives you the rigorous calculus and problem-solving foundation you need to succeed at a four-year university. Save money, get personal attention from instructors, and prepare for high-demand careers as a mathematician, statistician, actuary, data analyst, or math teacher. If you love a challenge and want a career with real impact, math opens doors.

About this pathway
The Mathematics transfer pathway, leading to the Associate in Science and Arts degree, is designed for students who plan to complete foundational coursework at IECC before transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor's degree in mathematics. The program prepares students to study quantities, structures, patterns, and relationships using symbolic logic and mathematical reasoning. Coursework provides a rigorous calculus sequence and introductory work in supporting areas such as physics and computer programming, while developing the abstract reasoning and problem-solving skills required for upper-division study. Topics of study include calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, discrete mathematics, and introductory statistics. Graduates who complete a bachelor's degree will have the potential for employment as mathematicians, statisticians, actuaries, data analysts, operations research analysts, mathematics teachers, or quantitative professionals in finance, technology, government, and research, and will be prepared for graduate study in mathematics, statistics, and related disciplines.
At a glance
Here's how the degree breaks down by credit hours. A typical full-time semester is about 12–15 credit hours, so a 64-credit-hour degree usually takes two years of full-time study.
