It all adds up
There are few careers or college majors that don’t require you to have at least a basic understanding of math, which is what you’ll gain in our introductory courses.
If you’re already grounded in the fundamentals and plan to major in math at a four-year college or university, we also offer the advanced courses you need.
And you’ll have no problem transferring the credits you earn at our lower tuition rate, saving you up to $20,000 on a four-year degree.
