Math
Virtually all students enrolled in a certificate or degree program at Wenatchee Valley College take at least one math course, since mathematical problem-solving skills are valuable in most areas of life. As part of the registration process, new WVC students seeking a degree or certificate can use multiple measures (transcript placement, EdReady, or an SBAC or AP score) to determine if they are ready for 100-level and above college classes in math. If their scores indicate a need for developmental courses to strengthen their skills, they may enroll in basic math and algebra courses (MATH 090, 092, 093, 098, 099).
College-level mathematics courses at WVC include math in society, precalculus (algebra and trigonometry), calculus and analytical geometry, business precalculus and business calculus, finite mathematics, statistics, linear algebra, and differential equations. Special topics and independent study courses are also available for varying credits.

1. Students will demonstrate growth in their mathematical skills in terms of graphical analysis, appropriate symbolic manipulation, and underlying theoretical comprehension.
2. Students will be able to apply mathematical concepts to real world situations.
3. Students will be able to effectively communicate mathematical concepts verbally and symbolically.
The MESA program (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) program at WVC offers academic and professional support services to qualifying students who intend to transfer to four-year universities in pursuit of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors.
