Liberal Studies
The Associate of Science degree in Liberal Studies is for students planning on transferring into the College of Liberal Arts at Oregon State University. It is a good choice for students wishing to design a unique program of study that spans disciplines. It is also a flexible choice for distance education students planning to transfer into the E-campus Liberal Studies program. Students, with their advisor, will develop a plan based on coursework selected from the various disciplines within OSU’ s College of Liberal Arts, including art, speech communication, history, economics, anthropology, English, foreign languages and literature, new media communications, women studies, sociology, political science, theatre, philosophy, ethnic studies, psychology and music.
Pre-elementary education students planning to complete a Liberal Studies degree should see the Education section of this catalog for the AS degree with an emphasis in Elementary Education – Liberal Studies option.

Mathematics
www. linnbenton. edu / go / math
The Mathematics Department provides courses for students in the college’ s career and technical programs as well as a full complement of courses for transfer students. The department also offers classroombased and online developmental courses for students who have little mathematics in their background or who are returning to school.
The Mathematics Department offers a two-year Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in mathematics designed for students who plan to transfer to Oregon State University to complete a baccalaureate degree in mathematics. This program provides those students with a solid foundation in mathematics and physics. Students who enter the program with a strong high school mathematics and science background can expect to complete it in two years. Students who must take pre-calculus mathematics courses should expect to spend more than two years in the program.
Many students combine mathematics with another discipline in a bachelor’ s degree program at a four-year school. Students completing the Associate of Science with an emphasis in Mathematics at LBCC need an additional 45 hours of mathematics at Oregon State University, together with university core requirements, to earn the Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics.
Entry-level mathematicians need at least a bachelor’ s degree; most jobs require higher degrees. Math is used in many fields, including engineering and economics. The work of mathematicians falls into two categories: theoretical and applied. Theoretical mathematicians study and test new mathematical ideas or theories. Applied mathematicians use mathematical theories to solve problems. Many people who work in applied math are not called mathematicians but have job titles such as statisticians, actuaries and operations research analysts.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the Associate of Science with an emphasis in Mathematics will:
• Use mathematics to solve problems in related disciplines or real life applications.
• Effectively communicate mathematics language appropriate to the audience.
1 – Courses offered that term only. 2 – Other classes may substitute. See advisor. 6 – These courses must have been completed within the last five years. 7 – Course may be taken any term to accommodate a student’ s particular interests and scheduling considerations. See the requirements for the Associate of Science degree for approved courses. 8 – No more than two courses with the same alpha prefix may be used by a student to meet the general education requirement. See an advisor. 9 – A cost-recovery program. See“ Workforce Training” section for details.
