Mathematics 2.0, Associate in Science for Transfer
Students graduating with an Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer Degree are well positioned to complete a Bachelor’s Degree in a similar major within the California State University system with 60 units of upper-division coursework. Students who complete the Mathematics AS-T degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Students must maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum 2.0 is required for CSU admission, some majors may require a higher GPA. Please consult a counselor for more information.
By successfully completing the courses for the Associate in Science in Mathematics 2.0 for Transfer Degree, students will gain a practical and theoretical understanding for future studies in mathematics. Students will be prepared for a baccalaureate degree in Mathematics. Students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to a university or college that is not part of the California State University system should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree to verify that a particular college acknowledges and accepts the Associate in Science in Mathematics 2.0 for Transfer conferred by Orange Coast College.
