Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer Degree
The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer Degree is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics or a related major in the California State University (CSU) system. It is accepted by some but not all CSU campuses. Students who complete this degree and transfer to a participating CSU campus will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree. It may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus that does not accept the degree.
Program Learning Outcomes
Students who complete the Mathematics for Transfer Program will be able to:
- Create a mathematical model for an applied problem
- Use a model to solve an applied problem
- Communicate in words the solution to an applied problem using correct units
- Identify answers that are extraneous or unreasonable within the context of the given problem
Students will be assessed through a combination of performance evaluations, written assignments, and written tests and quizzes.
Note: Students who plan to complete this degree should consult a counselor and visit www.assist.org for additional information about participating CSU campuses as well as university admission, degree, and transfer requirements.
Award Notes: Students are required to complete a maximum of 60 CSU-transferable units with a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0.
Major: A minimum of 18 units with grade of C or better.
General Education: In addition to the courses required in the major, students must complete one of the following general education options:
- The California State University General Education Breadth pattern
- The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum pattern
Note: Completion of the California State University American Institutions graduation requirement is strongly recommended prior to transfer.

Transfer Information
Students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university should complete courses required for the university major and the general education pattern required by that transfer institution. See catalog TRANSFER INFORMATION section. Additional courses may be required to meet university lower-division requirements.
Course requirements at the transfer institution are subject to change and may be verified by a counselor or by consulting the current university catalog. Many Baccalaureate in Arts degrees require third semester competency in a foreign language. Consult the current catalog of the transfer institution and consult with a counselor.
