Banner Code: 3_AST_MATH
Control Number: 32136
Financial Aid Eligible
Upon successful completion of the Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer, the student will have demonstrated a practical and theoretical understanding of mathematics in preparation for transfer to the California State University system. This degree will be useful for students majoring in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. It is recommended that students consult a counselor for further information.
Associate Degrees for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) are open to all Coastline students. Students who do not plan on transferring to a California State University school should consult their Counselor regarding the benefits of an AA-T/AS-T degree based on their goals. Students earning an AA-T or AS-T and intending on transferring to a California State University school receive transfer admission benefits for specific majors at many California State University campuses. Visit the Transfer Information catalog page for more information.
