Transfer Guides are designed to maximize transfer credit as students complete their associate degree at the community college before transferring to the bachelor's degree program. If you are a current Virginia Community College student or are planning to start at a Virginia Community College before transferring to this institution and program, please follow the Transfer Guide to plan your courses at the community college. The following Transfer Guide(s), applicable to this program, are available in the Resource Center. If there is a program-specific Transfer Guide and a general or general studies Transfer Guide, you are advised to follow the program-specific Transfer Guide. Please see your community college advisor for assistance in selecting the best pathway.

The Mathematics curriculum stresses breadth, theory, and depth in the study of mathematics while allowing the student the flexibility to choose among topics of their interest.

Program Guidance Element What You Need to Know
Considerations for Selecting Degree This program is certainly mathematics intensive since it does involve a mathematics major. Students are required to participate in practicums which will require a car for travel to the sites.
Considerations When Selecting Courses

To begin at Longwood University and graduate in five semesters, one would need to transfer in at least Calculus 1 and Calculus 2. Transferring Calculus 3, linear algebra, or introductory statistics would ease the workload considerably for the first couple of semesters. Taking a couple of the Education classes (equivalent to EDU 245 and EDU 260) will also ease the transition to the Longwood University program.

  • Create a schedule for all required courses, pay attention to prerequisites and when courses are offered, complete your first math and English courses in your first year
  • Connect with an advisor at your community college and Longwood University within your first year via College Connect
Program Requirements Beyond Specific Courses
Doing More With Your Degree Students in this program (especially as a transfer student) will be very busy completing the classes required for the major. Some students work as a tutor in the tutoring center.
Program Successes & Highlights Graduates of this program generally becomes mathematics teachers or continue on to graduate school. Graduates of this program are in high demand and will be able to find work in the teaching profession after graduating from this program.

What If I Have An Associate Degree Or Credit For Prior Learning?
Expand or Shrink Accordion
Transfer Guidance Element What You Need to Know
Associate Transfer Degree Completion If you earn a transfer-oriented associate's degree (Associate of Arts and/or Science) from one of the Virginia community colleges or Richard Bland College and you are admitted to Longwood, you are guaranteed completion of all Foundation-level courses as well as the Integrating World Languages Perspectives-level course associated with Civitae (Longwood’s core curriculum program).

Completion of Associate Degree Concurrent with High School
Credit for Prior Learning http://www.longwood.edu/registrar/transfer-of-credits/transfer-equivalency-system/
Did You Know That...
  • Completing your Associate transfer degree post-high school satisfies all lower division general education requirements and increases the chance of completing your bachelor's degree?
  • Exceeding 3 years or 90 credits at your community college means you may have exhausted your financial aid at that college and have limited your future financial aid at: Longwood University

College Fit Guidance What You Need to Know
Is This College Right For Me?

Longwood is a mid-sized university where students enjoy the highest percentage of classes taught by full-time professors in Virginia and a residential academic community that offers students the full university experience. Class sizes are smaller than average--our Civitae Core Curriculum classes are capped at 25 students--throughout our more than 100 majors, minors, and concentrations. With seven on-campus residence halls and two university-managed apartment complexes, students live, learn, and grow together in a true community.

Opportunities for students to be involved are the hallmark of the Longwood experience. From service organizations and Greek life to club sports and a long list of clubs based on interests and activities, there is something for everyone at Longwood. Each semester, an involvement fair helps students find organizations that are the right fit for them to make their time at Longwood even more meaningful.

Transfer Student Catalog Year Transfer students may choose the catalog in effect at the time they enroll or the one that applies to continuous full-time students at their class level. 
First Year Student Catalog Year New students join the catalog year in effect during their first matriculating semester.
Applying for Guaranteed Admissions Students transferring from an institution with a transfer agreement are guaranteed admission to Longwood when they have finished their transfer-oriented associate's degree (Associate of Arts and/or Science) and earned a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Students who are admitted prior to earning the transfer-oriented associate's degree (Associate of Arts and/or Science) and complete the degree before enrolling at Longwood also will receive the articulation benefits upon submission of an official transcript.
