Associate Degree for Transfer in Mathematics

The Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer degree prepares students for upper-division study in Mathematics and related disciplines and guarantees admission to the CSU system (see the beginning of the Academic Programs section for details). Mathematics is both a study in its own right and an essential tool in the sciences, providing solutions to problems across social, biological, physical, behavioral, and management fields. Graduates at the bachelor’s level are prepared for careers in mathematics, engineering, statistics, operations research, actuarial science, business, law enforcement, military science, government, and education, or to pursue advanced degrees in Mathematics or related fields.

AS

Associate Degree in Mathematics

The Associate of Science in Mathematics prepares students to be able to define, understand, and apply the concepts of limits, differentiation, and integration to solve real-world problems. They will use matrix transformations to address both practical and theoretical challenges and determine when specific theorems or definitions apply in a given context. Students will demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, including the ability to estimate solutions and identify unreasonable results, and will effectively use symbolic, graphical, numerical, and written representations to communicate mathematical ideas.

All Mathematics programs allow you to complete your general education requirements at any of our centers or online, giving you flexibility in scheduling those courses. However, plan to complete your major coursework at Main Campus, where all required Mathematics classes are reliably available.

How this flexibility note was generated

×

⚠ AI-generated content can be wrong. This note was produced by Claude (Anthropic) by synthesizing the individual program flexibility statements in this cluster. Verify against the per-program reports before relying on it.

You are synthesizing a single cluster-level flexibility statement for a community college academic cluster (a group of related programs that share a department-page accordion).

CLUSTER
  Title: Mathematics
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Mathematics (AS-T Degree):
      You can complete all of your required Mathematics coursework at Main Campus. Your general education requirements can be finished at any of our centers or online, so you have flexibility there—but plan on Main Campus for your major courses.
  • Mathematics (AS Degree):
      You can complete the required courses for the Mathematics AS degree at Main Campus, where all major coursework has been reliably available. Your general education requirements can be completed at any Butte center or online, giving you flexibility in how you schedule those courses around your major work.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Write 2 to 3 sentences that summarize the AVAILABILITY STORY shared by these programs. Most programs in a cluster will have similar availability — name the common pattern. Note distinct outliers ONLY if a program's availability story differs in a way that affects student decisions (e.g., one program is online-only, others are not).

  - Plain, student-facing language.
  - Refer to "the programs in this cluster" or "these programs" — don't list each program by name unless an outlier needs calling out.
  - If all programs share the same flexibility story, write one unified statement.
  - Do NOT list percentages, term codes, or jargon.
  - Lead with the most flexible/strongest availability and follow with caveats.
  - Refer to locations ONLY by official center names (Main Campus, Chico Center, Glenn Center, Skyway Center, Cosmetology Center, Online). NEVER use a city or town name — no Oroville, no Willows, and never "Chico" as a city. Write "at the Chico Center", never "in Chico" — even if a per-program statement below used a city name, do not repeat it.

OUTPUT
  Return ONLY the statement text. No preamble, no quotation marks, no markdown.
