The Associate in Science Degree in Mathematics for Transfer is designed to prepare the student for transfer to institutions of higher education and specifically intended to satisfy the lower division requirements forthe Baccalaureate Degree in Mathematics at a California State University (but does not guarantee acceptance to a particular campus or major). It will also provide the student with a sufficient academic basis from which to pursue a career in mathematics, statistics, actuarial science,and education. Completion of the Associate in Science Degree in Mathematics for Transfer (ADT) will prepare you to meet minimum lower division admission requirements (60 transferable units) for transfer to a California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC). Some UC schools may require additional coursework, please meet with a counselor for further assistance.
