In support of the established SB 1440, the Student Transfer Achievement Reform (STAR) Act, and the college’s mission, vision and values, Grossmont College has created the Associate in Science in Math for Transfer degree.  Students earning this Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) will have fulfilled the lower-division major preparation requirements for a degree considered similar at a participating California State University (CSU) campus.

The study of mathematics is a gateway to a career in STEM.  Our program emphasizes the development of mathematical skills, encouraging students to enhance their critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and numerical literacy while fostering an inclusive environment that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Associate in Science degree in Mathematics offers a solid foundation for further study in mathematics and other mathematics-related fields. The primary emphasis of the mathematics major program is to prepare students for transfer to four-year institutions. Students should consult the catalog of the transfer school being considered for its specific requirements.

The following is required for an Associate Degree for Transfer:

1. Minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter CSU-transferable units.
2. Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework.
3. Minimum of 18 semester or 27 quarter units in the major.
4. A grade of “C” or higher or “Pass” in all courses required for the major.
5. Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) pattern; see Degree Requirements, General Education & Transfer Information section for more information.

Program Learning Outcomes

1. Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
   
   1. Apply appropriate theorems, formulas, and algorithms to solve problems in algebra, trigonometry, calculus and geometry.
   2. Use appropriate technology to solve problems requiring mathematics.
   3. Formulate, analyze, and interpret mathematical functions using numerically, graphically and symbolic representations, and transition between these forms.
   4. 4. Clearly communicate mathematical reasoning and evaluate the validity of solutions.
