Mathematics
Associate in Science for Transfer Mathematics · Evergreen Valley College · 2025-2026 Catalog
Mathematics has been an important academic discipline in its own right for over 2500 years. In addition, mathematics provides the foundation for the study of physical, biological, health and computer sciences, engineering, statistics, economics, and many other disciplines. Mathematics graduates are employed as computer programmers, actuaries, data analysts, financial analysts, operations researchers, and educators. Others continue their studies and pursue advanced degrees in business, medicine, and law.
The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer (AS-T) degree is intended for students who plan to complete a baccalaureate degree in Mathematics or a related field of study at a California State University. Students who complete 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 the AS-T will be required to complete no more than 60 semester units after transfer to earn a baccalaureate degree.
To be awarded the Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer degree, students must:
(1) Complete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units which are eligible for transfer to the California State University (CSU) system, including both of the following:
(A) The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC)
(B) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.
(2) Obtain a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some majors may require a higher GPA. Please consult with a counselor for more information.
Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADTs) also require that students earn a “C” or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. A “P” (Pass) grade is also an acceptable grade for courses in the major if the course is taken on a Pass/No Pass basis.
