Math Department - Truckee Meadows Community College

$Math Student and Teacher$

The Math department offers math courses for general education to satisfy the AA or AS degree. Our department also offers an AS degree in Mathematics.

If you are pursuing an Associate in Arts Degree or an Associate in Science Degree, you must complete a college-level gateway math class in your first two semesters. TMCC offers Math 120, Math 124, and Math 126 with a required corequisite support class for students who do not have qualifying scores (see below for qualifying scores). Students who meet the qualifying criteria can enroll in a stand-alone course without the support class. If you are pursuing an AA, you must complete Math 120 or Math 124. If you are pursuing an AS, you must complete Math 126, or some programs will accept Math 124. Check the TMCC Catalog to determine which course you need to complete your degree.

The Associate of Science in Mathematics Degree is a general transfer degree program designed for students who are planning to transfer to a baccalaureate-level institution where you can complete a bachelor’s degree. This degree will provide you with opportunities for employment upon completion in areas of pure math, applied mathematics, and statistics.

Why Choose Math at TMCC?

The Associate of Science in Mathematics Degree at TMCC will set up to seamlessly transfer to any four-year institution. To complete an AS in Mathematics you will need to complete Math 181, Math 182, Math 283, Math 285, Math 295, and we offer Math 330.

Enrolling in Corequisite Math

All degree or certificate-seeking students are required to complete degree-applicable college-level math courses within their first two semesters at TMCC. All university transferable degrees and allied health programs will require students to complete a minimum of Math 120, Math 124 or Math 126. If you do not have a qualifying placement score, you must also register for a corequisite math support course, meaning you will take your college-level math course while simultaneously taking a support course, so either Math 120 with Math 20, Math 124 with Math 24, or Math 126 with Math 26. You will have to enroll in matching sections of the corresponding math courses. The process is the same for all courses, but this video uses Math 120 with a Math 20 corequisite support course as an example.
