Bulmer Telecommunications Center, Room 220, (518) 629-7358
This program, with emphasis on mathematics and science, serves the student who is interested in transferring to a four-year institution in mathematics, engineering science, computer science, actuarial science, secondary science or math education, biological or physical sciences, premedical, or similar pre-professional fields.
The program includes a Mathematics track, which gives the flexibility of electives that can be selected on the basis of the student’s ultimate goal and academic background (selections will be made in consultation with an assigned advisor); and an Actuarial Science track, which gives the student a focused pathway that will allow them to transfer to a related four-year degree program.
Transfer credit is evaluated at the student’s request. Transfer credit will be awarded at the discretion of the department chair in accordance with the college and discipline specific departmental policies to support the educational plan made between the academic advisor and the student. The use of transfer credit may affect transfer to other two-and four-year programs, as well as financial aid eligibility.
