Mathematics AS-T
What can I do with this?
We are now offering associate degrees for transfer to the CSU. This provides a clear
pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree. This AS-T degree guarantees admission
with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system and gives priority admission consideration
to your local CSU campus or to a program that is deemed similar to your community
college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses.
More information on the Degree with a Guarantee Program.

Program Learning Outcome Assessments
What courses do I take?
Note: Some courses within the major may have a required prerequisite. If you feel you have equivalent knowledge and skills to those included in the prerequisite course through professional experience, licensure, or certification, you have the opportunity to submit a Prerequisite Challenge to be reviewed by the faculty chair. For the Prerequisite Challenge to be considered, you must submit documentation/verification to substantiate the basis for the challenge. Please consult a counselor for more information regarding Prerequisite Challenge.
