Oregon Community Colleges
Mathematics Programs
Mathematics coursework at community colleges in this state. College algebra, precalculus, calculus, and statistics for transfer to four-year programs.
8 colleges · 370 sections · 41 unique courses · Fall 2026 · Updated today
Math is among the most consequential coursework students take at Oregon community colleges — both because it gates progress into many degrees (nursing, engineering, business) and because it's the most-failed subject for community college students nationally. 8 Oregon CCs institutions offer 370 sections this term, from developmental algebra through Calculus III, statistics, and discrete math.
The math associate as a standalone credential is rare — most students taking lots of math at CC are using it as pre-engineering, pre-CS, pre-actuarial, or pre-finance preparation. Compare colleges below by section availability (especially calculus, which not every CC offers locally) and online vs in-person options.

Frequently asked questions
- Which math classes count for a four-year college?
- College Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Statistics, Calculus I/II/III, and Differential Equations transfer cleanly to Oregon four-year programs. Developmental math (pre-algebra, basic algebra) doesn't transfer but is often required to enter college-level math. Take the placement test before enrolling; many Oregon colleges now offer accelerated pathways that skip much of the developmental sequence.
- Can I take Calculus at a community college and transfer it cleanly?
- Yes — Calculus I, II, and III at any Oregon CCs college articulate to the standard calculus sequence at Oregon four-year programs. This is one of the strongest CC value propositions: same content as the four-year, smaller class sizes, much lower tuition. Many engineering and physics majors intentionally take calculus at CC before transferring.
- What can I do with a math associate degree?
- Standalone: not much directly — entry roles for math-heavy careers (actuarial, statistician, data analyst) require a bachelor's. The associate is most valuable as the lower-division foundation for transfer to math, engineering, computer science, economics, or finance bachelor's programs.
- How do I know which math course to start with?
- Oregon community colleges use placement tests (Accuplacer, ALEKS, multiple-measures placement) or your high-school transcript GPA + most-recent math grade to place you. Most colleges allow you to challenge a higher placement. Talk to a math advisor before your first semester — placing too low costs time and tuition; placing too high causes a failed course.
