Mathematics, AS
Program Description
The Associate of Science, Mathematics is a two-year transferable degree. This program will provide students with the necessary background in calculus and differential equations needed for a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and will also provide the computer science needed for a bachelor of science degree at UNR. All courses recommended will partially satisfy the degree requirements for any of the bachelor’s degree options offered by the mathematics department at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Program Outcomes
Students completing the degree will:
PSLO1: Select and apply the appropriate algorithm or methodology to solve mathematical problems.
PSLO2: Use deductive reasoning to construct mathematical proofs.
PSLO3: Communicate mathematical information formally through appropriate notation, terminology, and graphical representation as well as communicate mathematical ideas informally using everyday language.
Transfer Agreements
AA/AS degrees are designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university. General information about general transfer agreements can be found on the Academic Advisement website. Students who intend to transfer to another college or university should speak with a TMCC Academic Advisor and consult with that institution. The transfer institution determines how TMCC courses will transfer. TMCC has agreements with the following institutions towards a bachelor's degree in the same or similar discipline.
