Massachusetts has a rapidly growing innovation economy that offers a variety of well-paying jobs to individuals with strong quantitative and logic skills. Massasoit’s Associate in Science in Mathematics degree can put you on a path to a bachelor’s degree in mathematics so that you can take advantage of career options in this fast-growing sector. Students who study Mathematics at Massasoit will work their way up to Calculus III, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations.
An associate degree in Mathematics can be started at any of Massasoit’s three locations and completed at the centrally located Brockton campus. Online, evening, and summer options are available for some courses in the program, allowing flexibility to fit your schedule. Completing your first two years of a bachelor’s degree at Massasoit before transferring can save you up to 50 percent on tuition and fees.
