Mathematics

WELCOME TO MATHEMATICS AT KAUA'I COMMUNITY COLLEGE! 

The Mathematics Academic Subject Certificate (ASC) is designed to enhance the mathematical knowledge of students beyond their current degree requirements.  Students can choose from two distinct pathways:

1. Broad Study: Explore various areas of mathematics by taking a variety of 100-level courses such as Survey of Mathematics, Math for Elementary Teachers, Statistics, or College Algebra. This pathway is ideal for students who want to develop critical reasoning and quantitative skills applicable to a wide range of fields.
    
2. STEM Preparation: Prepare for further study in STEM fields by taking courses like College Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus I, II, and Multivariable Calculus. Completing these courses before transferring will allow students to fulfill STEM program prerequisites and experience higher-level math in a supportive environment with small class sizes and dedicated faculty.

Program Admission Requirements

Admitted to Kaua'i Community College.

Program Student Learning Outcomes

Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs) approved 11/11/2017:

1. Apply abstract and quantitative reasoning skills to solve mathematical problems.
2. Communicate mathematical concepts coherently, clearly, and precisely in various ways such as symbolically, graphically, numerically or verbally.

The required 3-4 credits and 9-11 elective credits can be met in any sequence allowed under the current prerequisite rules. Students can pursue the Calculus pathway in depth, add an exploration of non-STEM math to their STEM sequence for breadth, or explore broadly in the non-STEM realm and round out their skills with a solid foundation in algebra/functions. Some possible paths are listed below.

Length of program (for any of the paths listed): 4 semesters
