The Associate in Science Degree in Mathematics for Transfer (AS-T) is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer with junior status and priority admission to their local CSU campus to a program or major in Mathematics or similar major for completion of a baccalaureate degree. Students are required to complete: * a minimum of 21-23 semester units in the major with a grade of C or better while maintaining a minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU transferable coursework. * 60 semester CSU transferable units using the California State University-General Education-Breadth pattern (CSU-GE Breadth); OR the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern. * No more than 60 semester units are required. The Associate in Science Degree in Mathematics for Transfer will also assist Mathematics major students to transfer to a U.C. or other baccalaureate institutions. Students are advised to consult with a counselor to verify transfer requirements.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES:
In the modern world, there are many fields that need specialists in mathematics.
