## MATHEMATICS 2.0 - ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE FOR TRANSFER: MESA

### Summary

The Associate in Science in Mathematics 2.0 for Transfer is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics or a related major in the California State University (CSU) system. It is accepted by some but not all CSU campuses. Students who complete this degree and transfer to a participating CSU campus will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree. It may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus that does not accept the degree. Students who plan to complete this degree should consult a counselor for additional information about participating CSU campuses as well as university admission, degree, and transfer requirements.

NOTE: Students intending to transfer into this major at a CSU should consult with a counselor and visit ASSIST for guidance on appropriate transfer coursework.

**Award Notes:**
The following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees:

-   Completion of 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University
-   Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in an “AA-T” or “AS-T” major.
-   Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some CSU campuses and majors may require a higher GPA. Please see a counselor for more information.
-   Minimum grade of “C” or “P” or better for each course in the major. Students should review the Pass/No Pass acceptance policy of the transfer institution prior to requesting this grade option.
-   Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) pattern.

**Learning Outcome(s): Students who complete the Mathematics 2.0 Program will be able to:**

1.  Apply appropriate mathematical definitions, properties, techniques, and/or technology to a variety of problem-solving situations.
2.  Demonstrate knowledge of the interrelatedness of several mathematical concepts.
3.  Demonstrate the ability to communicate mathematical reasoning both in the context of solving a problem and in the reasonableness of a solution.
