    2010 - 2011 Mathematics Program Information

    60 credit hours

    The Mathematics Program offers courses that meet general mathematics requirements for associate degrees and for transfer and technical programs. More advanced courses prepare students for majors in mathematics, science, and engineering. Most courses include a graphing calculator or computer use, and lab components emphasize applications of mathematical concepts. Mathematics instruction at Collin features well-qualified professors and a mathematics laboratory providing personal, computer, and audio-visual tutorial assistance.

    Career Options
    Mathematics majors have many potential career opportunities. They may provide technical assistance in business, engineering, science, medicine, and many other fields. In addition, knowledge of mathematics plays a crucial role in providing access to a wide range of technical information in areas that are not so obviously dependent upon mathematics.
