Students who study mathematics have opportunities in many career fields. This is because
mathematics plays such a central role in areas such as the physical and social sciences,
engineering, computer science and business. At Oklahoma City Community College, mathematics
students concentrate on the calculus sequence and appropriate science courses, but
have the option to take foundational mathematics classes such as Pre-Calculus and
Trigonometry and/or to extend the mathematics classes with options that support their
degree and career plans. Mathematicians should have a high degree of reasoning ability
and logic and be able to present facts and ideas clearly. When completing the Mathematics
Program, students earn associate degrees and become prepared to continue their education
at a four-year college or university. Career opportunities may be found in science,
education, engineering, research, finance, economics, computers, government and construction.
