Cape Fear Community College

Mission Statement

Mathematics and Physical Education Department

Mathematics and Physical Education are central disciplines to both the Associates Degree and College Transfer curriculum and to the varied degree programs at CFCC. The combined department at Cape Fear Community College offers educational programs which attempt to exploit the interrelations of mathematics and physical education courses. The Department's faculty and support staff are of moderate size — large enough to support a substantial curriculum that is comprehensive in its offerings; yet small enough to allow individual advising and instruction.

The department's main offices are at the Downtown or Main Campus on the sixth floor of the McLeod Building (S Building) Room 602. The McLeod building is at the corner of Walnut and North Front Streets, adjacent to the Galehouse or A Building on North Front Street. We invite you to stop by with any questions and visit. Students are encouraged to drop by our offices anytime they need curriculum worksheets, help with advising, details of an instructor's schedule, or to speak with the chair of the department. We are here to serve the needs of all students at CFCC.
