The program requirements pertain to the Undergraduate Catalog and are intended as a guide for academic planning. Students currently on SUNY campuses should consult their academic advisor for additional choices in general education categories when any course is recommended.

  • To view all required courses for the program and Cortland’s General Education courses, see the most current undergraduate Catalog.
  • Use the transfer equivalency tables to choose equivalents at your transfer college.
  • If you plan to transfer before you complete your associate’s degree, you can still earn your degree via Reverse Transfer.

About Mathematics

Mathematicians think critically, reason logically and solve problems. These are skills that many employers find highly desirable, but it is not all about jobs and money. Mathematics is a natural human activity practiced by many cultures for thousands of years. Our primary aim is to give you a solid foundation in mathematics that will help you appreciate its power, beauty and usefulness.

  • Cryptologist
  • Computer analyst
  • Statistician

What Will I Learn?

The required math courses are designed to give you a solid foundation. There is plenty of room in the program for elective math and non-math courses that interest you. That being said, picking up at least one minor in a math-related field is strongly encouraged. If you choose to pursue the B.S., you also will be taking classes in applied sciences.

Applying to Cortland

  • SUNY Cortland accepts the Common Application and the SUNY Online application. Choose just one way to apply; both require a $50 non-refundable application fee.
  • If you apply to Cortland using the SUNY application, SUNY will waive the $50 application fee for transfer students graduating with an associate degree from a SUNY or CUNY college, who apply directly to Cortland for baccalaureate programs.
  • Fall applicants should apply by June 1. Spring applicants should apply by November 1.
  • After applying, students must send transcripts from all colleges attended and a high school transcript.
