Description of Programs

The Math/Science Division at National Park Community College offers transfer-level coursework in mathematics and the natural and physical sciences for students planning to complete an Associates degree and/or transfer to a four-year university. Division coursework fulfills specific general education requirements for the Associate of Arts degree, adds important components to some programs within the Associate of Applied Science degree, and forms the core of the Associate of Science degree.

Mathematics courses offered by the Division include Math for General Education, College Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Introduction to Statistics, and Number Systems for Elementary Education Majors.

Science courses offered by the Division include Anatomy and Physiology (designed primarily for students enrolled in health-related or nursing programs), General Biology, Botany, Microbiology and Zoology.

Physical Science courses include Astronomy, Chemistry, Earth Science, Historical and Physical Geology, Meteorology, Oceanography, Physical Science, General Physics, and Physical Science for the Elementary Teacher.

Students working on an Associate's degree should consult specific degree outlines elsewhere in this catalog for appropriate mathematics and science courses for a particular degree/major. Those planning to transfer to a four-year university should consult with advisors from that institution to identify specific mathematics and science requirements for the degrees they plan to pursue.
