| THE NCCC APPROACH The Liberal Arts: Math & Science program is both exciting and challenging. The courses provide the necessary concepts and foundations for a variety of college majors. The program parallels the first two years of a bacacalaureate program at many four-year institutions. Students in this curriculum are highly successful in transferring to baccalaureate programs in math, sciences, or engineering after completion of their studies at Niagara County Community College. |

The Liberal Arts and Sciences: Math and Science program provides students with a strong math and
science background, while offering an introduction to other disciplines in Liberal Arts including
Humanities, Fine Arts and Social Sciences. When choosing electives from these areas, students are
encouraged to consider those that meet the SUNY General Education Requirements. Many four-year
SUNY institutions recommend that transfer students complete coursework in all ten areas prior to
transfer. Through consultation with an academic advisor and careful selection of courses, all ten
Knowledge and Skill requirements can be met while completing the AS degree. For more information
consult the SUNY General Education Requirements area of this catalog.
NCCC is distinguished by its nationally recognized faculty and modern teaching methodologies dedicated to the study of mathematics and science. The Liberal Arts and Sciences: Math and Science curriculum is a broad-based program designed to educate students in the basic principles of math and science and enable them to successfully transfer to a four-year institution. Suggested Associate in Sciences Study Areas or Fields of Academic Interest By appropriate course selection in consultation with an academic advisor, a student pursuing the Liberal Arts and Sciences: Math and Science degree program may prepare for transfer to upperdivision study in the major subject areas listed below:
ADMISSION Apply under SUNY Code #0645.

TRANSFER To promote the smooth transfer to a bachelor's degree program, faculty members at NCCC have consulted with faculty at colleges to which our students transfer. Together we have identified courses which meet the degree requirements for Liberal Arts and Sciences: Math and Science at NCCC and parallel required courses at the transfer college.Completion of MAT 120 and MAT 121 is normally sufficient to meet transfer requirements in Biology and biology-related programs such as Pharmacy, Medicine, Dentistry and Nutrition. Students who intend to major in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science and related fields should also consider completing MAT 222 and MAT 223. Science electives are available from among the major disciplines of Biology (BIO), Chemistry (CHE), Physics (PHY) and Engineering Sciences (ENS). The choice of which electives to take depends on the student's orientation toward a particular career or major. Graduates of the Liberal Arts and Sciences: Math and Science curriculum have transferred to a wide-range of programs to pursue a bachelor's degree. A sample of the colleges and programs to which they have transferred, based on follow-up studies of graduates and information from SUNY, is listed below.
