Total credits for the A.S. Degree in Science with a Specialization in Mathematics = 62-63.

To graduate from a degree program, students entering NVCC Fall 1999 or later must demonstrate computer competency skills as described in the Degree Requirements section of the Instructional Programs of this catalog.

Twenty of these credits must be taken in MTH courses for transfer to a four-year institution with a major in Science.

1 HIS 101, 102, 121, or 122 recommended. Although not required, students are encouraged to take a two-semester sequence in history, depending on the requirements of the transfer institution.

2 The social science electives may be selected from one of the following disciplines: economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, or sociology (includes anthropology). Base selection on requirements of transfer institution.

3 Humanities/Fine Arts electives may be selected from ART, ENG, HUM, MUS, PHI, REL, SPD, or foreign languages. Base selection on requirements of transfer institution.

4 Math electives should be chosen carefully from 200-level courses and after investigation of requirements of the institution to which transfer is intended.

5 Science courses (with laboratories) may be selected from the following: BIO 101-102, CHM 111-112, PHY 201-202, PHY 241-242, PHY 243, GOL 105-106, or any 200-level biology, chemistry, geology, or physics course.

6 The PED requirement may be met by one of the following options: PED 116, 2 cr.; PED 116, 1 cr. plus a PED activities course, 1 cr.; or PED 116, 1 cr. plus RPK 205, 207, 208, 216, or 225. PED 116 is offered as both a 1-credit and a 2-credit course.
