Overview

Whether you are preparing for a career in healthcare, business, engineering, education, the trades, or simply fulfilling a degree requirement, mathematics will help you develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills that extend far beyond the classroom. The Wenatchee Valley College Mathematics Department is committed to providing a supportive learning environment where you can build confidence, deepen your understanding, and achieve your academic and career goals.

The department offers courses for students at every stage of their mathematical journey, from foundational algebra through calculus, statistics, linear algebra, differential equations, and beyond. Whether you are strengthening your mathematical foundation or preparing to transfer to a four-year university, the curriculum is designed to foster both conceptual understanding and practical application.

Program Learning Outcomes

Two math students complete a math problem on a whiteboard.
Build mathematical understanding through graphical analysis, symbolic reasoning, and conceptual thinking.
A math instructor stands at the front of a classroom with students looking on.
Apply mathematical concepts to real-world situations across a variety of disciplines.
A WVC Omak math instructor works with a student on an assignment.
Communicate mathematical ideas effectively using both verbal explanations and mathematical notation.

Math Placement

New students pursuing a degree or certificate may use multiple measures—including high school transcripts, EdReady, SBAC scores, or AP scores—to determine the most appropriate starting point in mathematics. Students who would benefit from additional preparation may begin with developmental courses designed to strengthen the skills and confidence needed for college-level mathematics.
