Mathematics
Associate of Science for Transfer
Program Details
The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer (AS-T) degree program is designed as a roadmap for course selection and as the primary pathway for transfer students intending to earn a California State University (CSU) bachelor’s degree in mathematics. Particularly, this degree is intended to assist students in seamlessly transferring to a CSU. Mathematicians work in a variety of fields including actuarial science, analytical research, computer programming and mathematical modeling, cryptography, and education. A strong mathematics background is also required for careers in engineering, the physical sciences, social science, and computer science. Students must meet the following requirements in order to earn an AS-T in Mathematics: • Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University (CSU), including the CalGETC GE requirements • A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis • Obtain a minimum grade point average of 2.0. • Minimum grade of “C” (or “P”) for each course in the major, and • Completion of CalGETC GE requirements
