Math & Sciences

The primary goal of the Math and Sciences division is that of providing quality instruction in those areas most typically described as transferable to four year colleges or universities.

The programs offered by the Math and Sciences division can be explored below:

The broad areas of offerings include communications, social and behavioral sciences, fine and performing arts, physical education, physical and biological sciences, mathematics, radiological control and waste handling, and education. The social science section of Arts and Sciences offers instruction in anthropology, history, government, geography, economics, criminal justice, psychology, sociology, and philosophy. In humanities, students may select from music, theatre, art, or philosophy. The importance of the spoken and written word becomes increasingly significant as students progress academically and professionally. Through such courses as composition, literature, communication, and foreign language, emphasis is placed upon the extreme importance of words for modern communication. A portion of the humanities must be related to the past to show man his place in the world. In social science courses, students are given a fundamental knowledge of the progress of society, its institutions, and the cultivation of ideals. The main achievements of man in creative and artistic endeavors fulfill a need to create where nothing existed before. Courses in art, music, and theatre attempt to give the students pre-professional and general education in these areas. Science and pre-engineering courses are available for pre-professional training for dentistry, engineering, pharmacy, physical therapy, chiropractics, and medicine. Students transferring from these programs have been heavily recruited by senior institutions and have maintained successful academic records at those institutions. In addition, technical training is provided in environmental and petroleum technology. In mathematics, NMJC offers a range of courses from transitional / remedial levels through a complete calculus sequence. The physical education offerings embrace the NMJC philosophy that physical education courses not only provide activity but also encompass the broader educational aspects of physical fitness. Lifelong sports and physical fitness are emphasized in both intramural activities and in physical education courses so that the students may be involved and enjoy recreational activities that can be pursued throughout maturity.
