Key Summary
The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer Degree (AS-T) is designed for students planning to transfer into a mathematics major. Successful completion of the program with a minimum G.P.A. of 2.0 affords students specific guarantees for transfer to the CSU system such as admission to a CSU with junior status, priority admission to a CSU campus with a similar major, and to a program or major in mathematics or similar major. Students interested in the AS-T for a transfer degree in mathematics should consult with the departmental faculty chair. The AS-T degree will be awarded upon completion of the major course requirements listed below and the General Education requirements for the Associate in Science Degree listed in the Degrees, Programs & Transfer Requirements section of this Catalog. Complete the Degree Major Requirements and/or courses from Groups A and B below to complete preparation for the major. Also, complete 37-39 General Education units from either the California State University General Education-Breadth Requirements (CSU-GE) or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) and electives to total 60 units for the degree.
As required by Senate Bill (SB) 1440 (Padilla) and California Education Code (CEC) section 66746(a), the AS-T requires:
Completion of 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:
- A. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education-Breadth Requirements.
- B. A minimum of 18 semester units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.
Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Express mathematical concepts and techniques clearly and concisely using symbolic and ordinary language.
- Use quantitative reasoning to solve a variety of mathematical problems in the workplace and in the home.
- Demonstrate mastery of the various mathematical concepts and techniques needed to succeed in subsequent courses of increasing complexity.
