Liberal Arts and Sciences: Scientific Studies Mathematics and Pre-Engineering

Associate of Arts Degree Engineering · San Diego City College · 2026-2027 Catalog

Summary

The Liberal Arts and Sciences: Scientific Studies in Mathematics and Pre-Engineering Associate Degree offer students the mathematical and scientific knowledge, practical experience, and quantitative reasoning skills necessary to transfer to a University of California, a California State University, or an independent/private college or university in a variety specializations, including Aerospace Engineering, Applied Electronics, Applied Mathematics, Astrophysics, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Construction Engineering, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Engineering, Engineering Technology, Environmental Engineering, Industrial Engineering Technology, Information Systems, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science, Mathematics, Robotics, Statistics, Mechanical Engineering, Network and Digital Technology, Nuclear Engineering, Software Engineering, and Structural Engineering.

The Liberal Arts and Sciences Degree is designed to enable students to complete the requirements for an Associate in Arts Degree with a minimum of 18 units in an area of emphasis and transfer to a University of California, a California State University, or an independent/private college. Because admission and major preparation requirements vary at each transfer institution, courses used to complete this major should be selected with the assistance of a San Diego City College counselor.

Liberal Arts and Sciences associate degrees require a minimum of 60 transferable units to a California State University, University of California, or a private/independent college or university.

Award Note: The Associate Degree requires a minimum of 60 degree applicable semester units.

Learning Outcome(s): Students who complete the Liberal Arts and Sciences: Scientific Studies Mathematics and Pre-Engineering Program will be able to:
