Mathematics (AST)

If you are planning to transfer to a CSU or UC, then an Associate in Science in Mathematics is for you! You can complete an Associate in Science for Transfer Degree (AST) in Mathematics if you planning to transfer to a CSU Mathematics bachelor’s program. By successfully completing this degree, you are guaranteed admission to a CSU upon completion of this program!

The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer Degree requirements include:

• completion of 60 CSU transferable units, including the minimum 18 units in the major and the completion of either IGETC or CSU GE;
• a minimum GPA of 2.0.

If you are interested in completing an Associate Degree for Transfer, you must:

Complete 60 semester units of 90-quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following: *

1. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education-Breadth Requirements:
2. A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.

*As required by Senate Bill 1440 & California Education Code section 66746

ADTs also require that you must earn a C or better in all courses required for the major area of emphasis. A “P” (Pass) grade is not an acceptable grade for courses in the major.

You should meet with a counselor to determine the necessary course work to complete the general education requirements.

Upon completion of this program, you will be able to:

• Solve word problems by following the problem-solving strategy method. Declare variable(s), set up equation(s), solve equation(s), and express answer as a sentence/phrase in English (with at least 70% success rate).

• Solve systems of linear equations by graphing, and algebraic methods (with at least 65% success rate).

• Graph a linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, log, and trigonometric functions (with at least 65% success rate).

• Evaluate the first and second derivatives of a given function (with at least 65% success rate).

• Determine whether a pair of functions are linearly independent or dependent on the real numbers (with at least 65% success rate).
