Mathematics
Department of Mathematics
The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer degree includes curriculum which focuses on the mastery of integration and differentiation and using these techniques to model real-world applications. 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 field of study offered at various campuses in the California State University system. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Students transferring to a CSU campus that accepts this degree will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree. This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer degree also offers the appropriate preparation for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics at various campuses in the University of California system. However, students completing this degree are not guaranteed admission to the UC system. In all cases, students should consult with a counselor for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.
PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon satisfactory completion of this award, the student should be prepared to: 1. Successfully complete upper division coursework in mathematics. 2. Master the techniques of integration and differentiation. 3. Use these techniques to model real-world applications.
To earn an Associate in Science for Transfer degree in this major, the student must complete the requirements detailed in the Transfer Model Curriculum pathway. All courses must be completed with a C or better.
WHAT IS STEM?
STEM (Science Technology Engineering & Mathematics) is a curricular pathway that prepares students to take calculus, and to be academically prepared for further study in fields such as medicine, engineering, biology, mathematics, computer programing and some business programs. Students who plan to major in STEM fields, must follow the pathway. Students are encouraged to talk to counselors about academic preparation for these fields of study.
NON-CREDIT MODULES FOR FOUNDATIONAL MATH SKILLS
Math 911-913, Math 921–924, Math 928-929 and Math 988-989 are 4 sequences of non-credit modules designed to allow students to place out of introductory credit math courses. Students who register for 911 are automatically registered for 912 and 913, those who register for 921 are automatically registered for 922 – 924 Students who register for 911 are automatically registered for 912 and 913, those who register for 921 are automatically registered for 921 – 924, those who register for 928 are automatically registered for 928 – 929 and those those who register for 988 are automatically registered for 988 – 989.. Completing the last course in each sequence allows students to move up in the sequence or move into credit courses.
