Mathematics (Associate Degree Science)

About this programme

Please visit the International application deadline page to find out when applications may be available. Gain a strong foundation for almost any career in the natural sciences, social sciences, computer science or a host of other fields with the Associate of Science in Mathematics. Studying mathematics will build your ability to solve problems, think logically and critically, and develop persistence and creativity, skills that are important in many fields. You’ll study calculus, introductory statistics, discrete mathematics, linear algebra and differential calculus, preparing you to apply mathematics in other disciplines or to continue to study more advanced mathematics courses at university. Associate degrees take two years to complete and concentrate on one area of study. If you plan your courses carefully with a university program in mind, you’ll be able to transfer all 60 credits to university. In most cases, an associate degree will allow you to enter the third year of a four-year bachelor's degree program. To ensure your courses transfer, see the BC Transfer Guide. Put your skills to work by joining the optional Co-operative Education Program , which alternates semesters of study with paid, full-time work in your field. You’ll earn money while gaining experience, building your resume and getting an employer reference, all before you graduate. To participate in Co-op you need to plan two semesters in advance, so we strongly recommend contacting the Co-op Office at the start of your program.
