Associate of Science in STEM Mathematics

Have you ever thought about measuring the spread of forest fires or oil spills? Do you think about ways to optimize systems or how to measure instantaneous rates of change? By studying mathematics and its applications, you can prepare to do this and much more! Equip yourself with tools to pursue a position in insurance, operations research, finance, or engineering. A great way to get started on the right track is to pursue an Associate of Science (AS) in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

Our associate’s degree in STEM Mathematics presents basic concepts and methods in modern mathematics to develop your ability to think critically and apply advanced concepts to various disciplines. A degree in mathematics helps show employers that you have the commitment, intelligence, and problem-solving skills necessary for a wide variety of potential career paths.

With the flexibility that our AS in STEM Mathematics offers, you can prepare for a dynamic future. Research opportunities are encouraged, and professors are willing to sit down with you and discuss research ideas or even help walk through math problems with you. What separates Liberty from the other schools is the way our professors truly believe in our mission of Training Champions for Christ.

Our AS in STEM Mathematics is designed to help you later pursue your BS in Mathematics or math and applied statistics degree. If you are more geared towards engineering or another discipline, you could potentially transfer your credits into another degree as well! Whichever path you choose, you can be confident that you are receiving a world-class STEM education.
