Student Pathway 2021−2022 Mathematics AS-T
Mathematics Associate in Science Degree for Transfer
The Mathematics Associate in Science Degree for Transfer prepares students for transfer into four-year mathematics programs. A strong Mathematics background allows students to pursue studies in fields such as mathematics education, engineering, information technology, statistical analysis, physical science, and advanced mathematics.
The program is suited to the needs of students who will complete their education at Clovis Community College with an A.S. degree, as well as those students who will complete their Clovis Community College Mathematics Associate in Science Degree for Transfer who Transfer to a four-year institution to complete their bachelor’s degree. Successful completion of the Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer Degree guarantees the student acceptance to a California State University (but does not guarantee acceptance to a particular campus or major) to pursue a baccalaureate degree, in preparation to pursue a career in the field of mathematics, engineering, statistics, actuarial science, business and management, law enforcement, government, and education.
