### Requirements

To earn this degree, complete all of the following graduation requirements:

-   60 minimum degree-applicable units (including a maximum 4 units of activity) and 12 degree-applicable units through VVC;
-   the major coursework with "C" grades or higher;
-   the VVC General Education (plus American Institutions and Kinesiology Competencies) or CalGETC pattern; and
-   2.0 minimum overall degree-applicable GPA.

Courses may be double-counted in the major, general education, and/or competencies. Courses counted towards one AA/AS major may be used in another AA/AS major.

The requirements listed above are minimum standards for all AA and AS degrees.  However, students following the Math/Science, AS and also working on admissions requirements for other programs such as Nursing or other health sciences, must earn higher grades in order to meet minimum admission criteria and to be competitive applicants in those programs.  Visit with a VVC counselor for details and guidance.

The Math/Science major requires 18 units from any of the following courses.
