Quality Education for a Fraction of the Cost
Mathematics and number sense have never been more important. Coastline math classes can help you prepare for a certificate, earn a degree, transfer to another school, advance in your career, or just understand the world better. We recognize, however, that students have a huge variety in their schedules, requirements, and background, so we've made it easier than ever to find a math class that meets your needs. The College offers classes taught by professors in a variety of formats - including classroom, cable TV, hybrid or online - in 4-week, 8-week, 12-week and 16-week sessions.
Every class except Basic Mathematics and Statistics Pathway 1 requires either a prerequisite course or a multiple measures placement. Learn more on our Assessment webpage. If you have any questions, or want information on your textbook options, contact a Math Department Chairperson.
