Mathematics

 St. Mary's College of Maryland encourages students to complete their Associate of Arts or Associate of Science prior to transferring to St. Mary's College of Maryland. Students who do not complete their Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree must complete the LEAD General Education package as listed below.
 
 

The mathematics major is designed to prepare students for graduate work in mathematics, for teaching mathematics in secondary school, and for a variety of careers in mathematics-related fields in government, business, or industry.

All students are expected to learn methods and techniques of problem-solving and to develop facility in the mathematical mode of thinking. They are expected to become acquainted with the major areas of current interest in mathematics, with the great achievements of the past, and with the fundamental problems of number, space, and infinity. 

 Note: Most courses at St. Mary's College of Maryland are worth 4 credits.  Students will only receive the amount of credits at St. Mary’s College of Maryland that they received at their Sending Institution. For example, if your previous college/university says Introduction to Psychology is worth 3 credits, you will only receive 3 credits for Introduction to Psychology at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. The transfer courses worth 3 credits will still be applied to meet specific course requirements within the SMCM majors.
