As the role of mathematics in society continues to grow, the value of a solid foundation in mathematics is reinforced. The Department of Mathematics offers a broad program of university course work with a liberal arts emphasis, leading either to a bachelor of arts or to a bachelor of science degree. Such a program of study is flexible enough to prepare a student for positions in industry, business, teaching, or for advanced study toward a graduate degree in mathematics.

Additionally, double majors are not uncommon since the Departments of Computer Science and Physics work closely with the Department of Mathematics in structuring their mathematically based courses.

The department offers two graduate degrees. The Master of Arts degree emphasized mathematical content courses and is appropriate for those planning a career in teaching at the junior college level, or those considering further graduate work. The Master of Arts in Teaching offers a curriculum of combined mathematics and pedagogy courses, making it ideal for middle and high school mathematics teachers. The emphasis is on deepening and broadening the student's knowledge of the mathematics that underlies the high school curriculum. Core courses for both programs are offered in the evening to accommodate the working student.

In many ways mathematics functions as a universal language in today's global culture. Upper-division students are encouraged to participate in the California State University's International Programs.

Mathematics M.A. and M.A.T.

The Master of Arts degree in Mathematics is a flexible program that allows students to tailor their studies to individual career goals. It emphasizes mathematical content courses and is appropriate not only for college teaching but also for students considering further graduate work.

Careful advising is essential to ensure that prerequisites for courses are met, and that the course work selected is appropriate for the student's career goals.
