Students interested in CCC's Mathematics program can apply for general admission to the college and then file a degree plan with an Academic Advisor.
Although this program is designed to allow students to transfer to a four-year university to continue their studies in mathematics and other sciences, it will provide a solid foundation for a multitude of possible careers. Students must work closely with their transfer institutions and their CCC advisor to ensure the best transition to four-year schools. Future career opportunities include:
- Data, Operation, and Financial Analysts
- Actuaries
- Scientists
- Teachers
- Engineers
- Insurance Underwriters
