MHCC offers different pathways in mathematics depending on a student's educational and career goals. Be sure to always check the program page for the major you are interested in to verify the math level(s) required. 

The track a student needs will depend on the student’s placement level, major, and/or transfer plans.

Students should see an adviser to discuss the best math track for their placement level, degree requirements, educational goals, and/or transfer university requirements.

Statistics Track

If the major you're interested in requires statistics, you can reach it in a couple of ways at MHCC. Some health care professions, such as nursing, allow students to follow the Statistics track. Statistics is sometimes required if you plan to:

• Major in the arts, humanities, or social sciences such as psychology or sociology.
• Complete a business transfer degree and transfer to any public university in Oregon.

Students who plan to major in a field that requires STAT243Z Elementary Statistics I  (Course offered online) can complete this in one of two ways:

Statistics Track 1

 Statistics Track 2

Calculus Track

This track is designed to prepare students who plan to major in a field that requires calculus. Some universities require both calculus and statistics for certain majors. Generally speaking, students who need to take the calculus path are planning to: 

• Major in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), computer science, or pre-professional programs such as medicine, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine. Always check the program page for the major you are interested in to verify the math level(s) required. 
• Major in a field that requires advanced math, chemistry, biology, or physics.

Elementary Educator Track

This track is for students who plan to major in Elementary Education and become a teacher in an elementary school (grades K-6.)

Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Fine Arts Track

• For majors that are not related to STEM (science, technology, engineering, or math), computer science or the medical field. 
• When transferring to a university to earn a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree, only one (1) 100-level math course is necessary.
