Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer
Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer (AS-T) The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer (AS-T in Mathematics) is designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU institution for students who plan to transfer and complete a CSU major or baccalaureate degree in Mathematics.
California Community College students who are awarded an Associate in Arts in Mathematics for Transfer (AS-T in Mathematics) are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system and given priority admission consideration to their local CSU institution or to a program that is deemed similar to their community college major.
This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or institutions. Mathematics is a multifaceted subject of great beauty and application. Mathematics courses provide the student with a universal language used to study quantities and relationships in all fields. Through the study of mathematics, the student develops the ability to think logically and abstractly, as well as developing the problem solving and computational skills necessary for success in any field of study.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Students will solve mathematical problems using techniques appropriate to the course content and level of study.
- Students will solve applied problems using mathematical methods appropriate to the course content and the level of study.
- Students will apply technology to analyze and solve problems.
- Students will prepare students to transfer to an accredited 4-year college or university and succeed in upper division math courses to complete their Bachelor Degree in Mathematics.
What is an AS-T?
The Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended for student who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing these transfer degrees:
- will earn an Associate's Degree from Mission College;
- are guaranteed admission to a similar major at a campus in the CSU system;
- will be prepared to start upper division coursework at the CSU;
- and will not have to complete more than 60 units after transfer.
