Developmental, remedial and general education requirement (GER) mathematics and beginning statistics courses are offered at all three campuses of UAS; Juneau (J), Ketchikan (K) and Sitka (K). Some of these courses are offered as distance courses from the Ketchikan and Sitka campuses. All courses offered through the Juneau campus are local courses. All UAS mathematics courses are either 3 credit courses (3+0) or 4 credit courses (4+0). The same goes for UAS statistics courses, except STAT S401 which is a 4 credit course having 3 hours of lecture each week and 3 hours of computer lab each week (3+3).

The following course descriptions are for mathematics and statistics courses listed in the current UAS Academic Catalog.
