Associate in arts degree - Mathematics
MATH-051 Alternate Credit Elementary Algebra
The associate degree in mathematics is a transfer degree for students who wish to transfer to a four-year institution with a major in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, or Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers. The degree offers students a broad general education, while also preparing students for upper division work in Mathematics. In addition, it prepares students mathematically for upper division work in related fields such as Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Computer Science, and Economics. Major requirements for four-year programs differ from institution to institution, so students wishing to transfer to a particular four-year program should consult a counselor regarding the course requirements for that program. Major requirements may only be taken for a “for grade” basis. To earn a degree, students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a “C” grade or higher and complete all graduation requirements as listed in the catalog. Certain courses may satisfy both major and a graduation requirements; however the units are only counted once. major requirements
