Mathematics AS-T Degree
Provides students with the opportunity to meet the requirements for transfer to the CSU system and major in Mathematics or a similar major.
Associate in Science for Transfer | SC Program: AS-T.2001
If you love working with numbers, the potential career options for those who study mathematics are as vast as the discipline itself. Whether it is teaching math or becoming an actuarial scientist, there are many opportunities in mathematics that you can begin exploring while at Shasta College.
The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer degree (AS-T in Mathematics) provides students with the opportunity to meet the requirements for transfer to the California State University system in Mathematics or a similar major. In order to earn the Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer degree a student must complete 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Completing this degree guarantees admission to the CSU system but not to a particular campus or major.
The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer degree is designed to prepare students for upper division study in Mathematics and related fields. Mathematics graduates at the bachelor’s level are qualified for employment in pursuing a career in the field of mathematics, engineering, statistics, actuarial science, business, management, law enforcement, government, and education. They also frequently enter graduate programs to pursue advanced degrees in Mathematics or related fields.
Those students interested in teaching at the high school level should know that the nation is experiencing a shortage of well qualified mathematics teachers. Current and prospective community college students interested in this degree are encouraged to meet with a Counselor to develop an educational plan that best meets their goals and needs.
