The Associate in Science in Mathematics degree is designed for students who are interested in transferring to a college or university to major in mathematics, engineering, the physical or life sciences, business, liberal studies, and a host of other majors. The AS in Mathematics requires the core freshman and sophomore mathematics courses for a baccalaureate degree in mathematics plus an additional mathematics or statistics course for breadth. Students who intend to transfer to a CSU and major in Math are encouraged to pursue the AS-T.

Students who complete this program should be able to:

1. Solve equations and inequalities.
2. Perform operations on mathematical objects (e.g. numbers, expressions, functions, matrices).
