Total Units for A.S.-T Degree: 60 units
Note: When selecting 4-5 unit courses for the Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer, keep in mind that you may not require more than 60 units for the entire degree.
The overall requirements for this Associates Degree for Transfer (ADT) can be met by:
- Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC).
- Completion of California State University General Education-Breadth Requirements (CSUGE) or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC).
- Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.
- Completion of a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
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 acceptable if pass is defined as a grade of C or better. ADTs are intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. A student completing an ADT is guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not a particular campus or major. Students should meet with a Counselor to develop a comprehensive educational plan to further understand university and transfer requirements.
