Associate Degrees
Mathematics – AS-T Degree
The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer Degree is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer with junior status and priority admission to a local CSU campus to a program or major in Mathematics or similar major for completion of a baccalaureate degree.
The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer Degree will also assist Mathematics major students to transfer to a U.C. or other baccalaureate institutions. Students are advised to consult with a counselor to verify transfer requirements.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this program a student will be able to:
1. Solve quantitative problems using numerical, graphical, and algebraic methods.
2. Compute derivatives and integrals of multivariable functions.
3. Evaluate integrals using Green’s Theorem, Stokes’ Theorem and Gauss’ Theorem.
Career Opportunities
In the modern world, there are many fields that need specialists in mathematics. Careers in mathematics include: scientists, researchers, space technicians, mathematics teachers, actuaries and insurance specialists, and people who can combine mathematical knowledge with a scientific, computer, or business background.
Mathematics – A.S. Degree
This associate degree is designed for students who complete the first two years of college math. It differs from our transfer degree in the IGETC or CSU Breadth Requirements. Students interested in this degree should consult with a counselor and the chair of the Mathematics Department. The degree will be awarded upon completion of the major course requirements listed below and the General Education requirements for the Associate in Science Degree
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this program a student will be able to:
1. Application Problems: Students should be able to read word problems, identify the type of problem, synthesize relevant information, create a mathematical relationship (equation) to determine unknown quantities and solve to determine the answer to the question posed.
2. Solving Problems Algebraically: Students should be able to use algebraic manipulation to find solutions to problems/equations both with and without a calculator.
3. Graphs: Students should be able to analyze, create and solve problems using graphs.
Career Opportunities
Scientists, researchers, mathematics teachers, actuaries, and in general workers in fields that require mathematical knowledge together with a scientific, computing, or business background.
