      "markdown": "The **Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer**, also called the Mathematics AS-T Degree, provides students with sufficient mathematical knowledge and skills to transfer with upper division status in mathematics to a university that is part of the CSU system. This degree is intended for students who are interested in the theory of mathematics and are planning to transfer to a CSU with a declared major in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, or statistics. Students who complete the Mathematics AS-T will receive priority admission with junior status to an institution in the California State University system.\n\nThis Mathematics AS-T degree requires students to meet both of the following requirements:  \n        (1)  Completion of 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:  \n               **·**  Completion of Cal-GETC.  \n               **·**  A minimum of 18 semester units in a major or area of emphasis. All courses in the major or area of emphasis must be completed with a minimum grade of \"C\" (or \"P\").  \n        (2) Obtainment of a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0.\n\nThere are no additional graduation requirements. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements."
