About the Program

Students completing Associate Degrees for Transfer are guaranteed admission to the CSU system. Please see the beginning of the “Academic Programs” section for details.

The degree is designed to prepare students for upper division study in Mathematics and related disciplines. The role of Mathematics is vital and growing, providing solutions to problems in a wide range of fields. Mathematics is a study in its own right. It is also an essential tool for expressing and understanding ideas in the sciences: social, biological, physical, behavioral, and management. As a result, employment opportunities for Math Majors have been expanding in recent years. To begin this degree students must either have completed the prerequisites for Math 30 (Calculus 1) which include Trigonometry and College Algebra, or receive a qualifying placement on the CAP tool.

Mathematics graduates at the bachelor's level are qualified to pursue a career in fields such as mathematics, engineering, statistics, operations research, actuarial science, business management, law enforcement, military science, government, and education. They also frequently enter graduate programs to pursue advanced degrees in Mathematics or related majors.
