Plan of Study

Connors State College Associate of Science in Mathematics
NSU Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

There are many career opportunities for people with degrees in mathematics. In today's information driven society, people with good mathematical and problem solving skills are in high demand. Often industry seeks out people with mathematics degrees not for any particular mathematical skills they possess, but rather for their problem solving skills (since good mathematicians tend to be good problem solvers). It is impossible to list every career where problem solving skills are needed since it includes almost every career!

Transferring to NSU is a seamless process. Although you can transfer to NSU at any time in your academic career, the smoothest transition occurs if you have earned or will earn an AA or AS from CSC. This milestone will also meet your general education requirements at NSU (unless it is a specific NSU requirement for you to graduate).

What it takes to complete a B.S. degree in Mathematics from NSU. If you don't complete your AA or AS at CSC, you will need to meet NSU's specific general education requirements. You must have at least 124 hours completed to earn a BS. Of those hours, 60 must be from a university (4 year school), 40 must be junior and senior (3000/4000) level, and half of the hours in your major must be from NSU. You must also be both English and computer proficient. This means that you must pass Composition I & II with a "C" or better and pass the designated computer proficiency class if needed. Therefore, when you transfer to NSU, you will likely need to complete around 60 more hours in order to earn your BS.

How do my CSC classes transfer to NSU? Every class that you have taken at CSC will transfer to NSU. Each class will count in one of the following categories that make up a bachelor's degree: general education, major, minor, or free elective. You probably already know about general education and major classes, but minors and free electives are unique to bachelor's degrees. A minor is 18 hours from an academic area of your choice, and it is designed to complement your major. Your advisor will help you determine your minor and the classes you will take to complete it. Free electives are extremely flexible and can be selected from any academic area. They allow you to explore your academic interests outside of your major while counting toward the 124 hours you need to graduate. Most degree programs at NSU allow for some free electives. If you completed a class at Connors State College that does not meet one of the other specific requirements, it will count in this category, up to the first 64 hours. If you have completed more than 64 hours at the associate degree level, all courses will transfer to NSU, but only 64 hours will apply to your degree. This is because you must have 60 hours from a four-year institution to meet state requirements for graduation with a baccalaureate degree.

When can you start taking NSU classes? You can begin taking classes at NSU while you are completing your AA or AS at CSC. This is called dual enrollment, many students do this each semester. Consult an NSU academic advisor and a financial aid counselor to see how dual enrollment can work for you.

NOTE: A minimum grade of C must be earned for ENGL 1113 and ENGL 1213. You must have a minimum of 41 credit hours in majors level mathematics courses with at least 50% being earned at NSU.
