 Associate in Arts and Science Transfer Option

The mathematics department at BBCC prepares students for successful transfer to a four-year college or university. At the university level, a math major student may prepare for a career in industry, government, or education.

All students, regardless of background, must take BBCC's math placement exam before being allowed to enroll in any math or science course with a math prerequisite.

Since programs differ at each college, students should consult program outlines published by the college or university to which they intend to transfer.  The following recommended courses prepare students for most baccalaureate institutions.  Students should prepare their quarterly schedules with the assistance of an advisor knowledgeable in this transfer area.
