The goal of the department is to provide each mathematics major the opportunity to develop breadth and depth in theoretical and applied areas of mathematics, including computer and mathematics for teaching. Students will acquire abstract thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills which are applicable in nearly every area of life. The department aims to provide a supportive learning environment where students are given an opportunity to develop mathematically to their maximum potential. Students, with guidance from faculty, may participate in research opportunities in mathematics individually or in collaboration with their peers as well as in co-curricular activities such as seminar talks and conferences. After graduating from York College, the mathematics major may pursue graduate studies toward an advanced degree and/or work in his/her chosen career.

Mathematics Program Goals

  • Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the core concepts of differential and integral calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra

  • Students should be able to demonstrate the ability to think logically and construct logical arguments, and to apply mathematical proof techniques in a wide variety of mathematical areas, including algebra and analysis.

  • Students should be able to demonstrate the ability to analyze and solve problems in applied mathematics, both through theoretical and applied techniques.

  • Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the problems and techniques of classical and modern mathematics.

For transfer students, York College will decide whether any courses taken at the original college fulfill the College Option requirements.

CUNY Associate to CUNY Bachelor's or Non-CUNY Associate to CUNY Bachelor's  Students who transfer from a CUNY associate to a CUNY bachelor's degree program:

  • Earned Associate Degree: 6 College Option credits required

  • Earned More than 30 Credits: 9 College Option credits required

  • Earned 30 or Fewer Credits: 12 College Option credits required

CUNY Bachelor's Students pursuing a bachelor's degree at one CUNY college (without transferring):

  • 12 College Option credits required
    (specified by their college).

CUNY Bachelor's to CUNY Bachelor's Students who transfer between CUNY bachelor's degree programs

  • 12 College Option credits are required; HOWEVER, students can transfer the College Option credits they earn in a bachelor's degree program at one CUNY college toward their College Option requirement at any other CUNY college.

Second Bachelor's Degree Students Students with earned bachelor's degrees from institutions that are accredited and recognized by a regional accrediting U.S. agency, as well as students from international universities with degrees that are equivalent to a baccalaureate degree as determined by CUNY

  • No College Option credits required; these students are deemed to have automatically fulfilled the College Option.

Completion requirement
Earn at least 9 credits from the following:

  • Students must complete three WI courses, at least one of which must be in the upper division of the curriculum (at the 300 level or above) within the major. Transfer students with a prior A.A., A.S., or Bachelor's degree must only complete one WI course, which must be in the upper division (at the 300 level or above) within the major). Every student, including transfer students, is required to complete one upper division WI course within each declared major. If the major has no upper division WI course, the student must complete a WI course (outside of their major) chosen in consultation with their major advisor. The department chair will need to notify Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) of this advised course that will satisfy the upper WI requirement. Writing Across the Curriculum, as part of its charge from the York College Senate, will make case-by-case determinations of the requirement only for students who present special circumstances that make it impossible for them to meet these guidelines.
