*CMSC/CINS 155 is suggested. However, CINS 101 or MULT 109 may be taken instead, depending on the student's background.
**Recommended science courses for transfer to B. S. program in Mathematics are: PHYS 151, BIOL 104, BIOL 106, BIOL 110, CHEM 121, or CHEM 123, depending on the transfer program and institution.

Transfer Pattern Description:
This Arts and Sciences degree pattern provides opportunities for students who wish to continue their studies at a four-year institution, in fields such as mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics,
or mathematics education. Students who choose this curriculum and desire to transfer courses to a four-year institution should talk with the program coordinator and/or an academic advisor.

Since four-year institutions may vary in their requirements, and because requirements also vary according to the bachelor's degree program at the transfer institution, it is strongly recommended that students also contact the appropriate department at the intended transfer institution. Program electives can then be selected to meet the requirements of the specific transfer institution. Program requirements listed here generally transfer to four-year institutions for mathematics majors. Courses are offered both day and evening.

The required courses listed here assume that the student has a background that includes algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Students who do not meet these requirements can take the required prerequisite courses at CCBC after placement testing of courses may be taken full-time or part-time.
