Bachelor in Mathematics (Associate Degree Science)

Mathematics serves as the foundational language of inquiry for the natural and social sciences, providing the logical framework necessary to model reality and solve complex problems. The Associate of Science in Mathematics at Douglas College is designed for students who seek to build this rigorous analytical capacity, whether their long-term goal is to specialize in computational research, data science, or the broader physical sciences.

This two-year program offers a targeted curriculum that balances core mathematical theory—including calculus, discrete mathematics, and linear algebra—with the flexibility to explore broader scientific electives. By completing this degree, students not only gain essential quantitative skills but also benefit from a structured transfer pathway. Designed to integrate seamlessly with British Columbia’s research university system, the program allows graduates to enter the third year of a bachelor’s degree, ensuring that academic progress remains efficient and focused.

Applied Experience Through Co-op

Students have the opportunity to participate in an optional Co-operative Education Program, which bridges the gap between abstract theory and industry practice. By alternating academic semesters with paid, full-time work terms, participants cultivate professional experience, build industry networks, and develop the practical confidence required for careers in systems analysis, data mining, and beyond.
