Description

The Mathematics Department is part of the Mathematics and Science Division of Solano Community College. We offer an AST degree in Mathematics. Our courses are an integral part of many degrees offered at SCC. We work collaboratively with our science colleagues to create optimal and efficient schedules for many majors. We believe in the value of in person instruction. Our Statistics and Liberal Arts Mathematics courses have fully online options, but not some other STEM courses. The college requires that a majority of a teaching load be taught in person at our sites. We have classes at the main campus in Fairfield, at our satellite campuses in Vacaville and Vallejo, at the Air Force Base and in the prison system. We embrace the possibilities of Mathematics education for all our students.

We want instructors who care about students, about pedagogy, and the future of our community. We are looking for an individual willing to take risks to achieve those goals.
