Mathematics

The Mathematics Associate in Science Degree program offers training in both pure and applied mathematics, leading to careers in research, education, business, industry, and government, including such professions as educators, statisticians, actuaries, and operations research analysts. Many areas, such as the physical and social sciences, engineering, economics, and business, are dependent upon the use of applied mathematics in developing solutions to practical problems. Students who complete Mathematics courses will demonstrate critical thinking skills, analyze abstract concepts, and transition from the concrete to the abstract in mathematical thinking. The Associate in Science Degree in Mathematics for Transfer (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, or a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing the AS-T degree in Mathematics are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not necessarily to a particular CSU campus or major of their choice. For a current list of what majors (and what options or areas of emphasis within that major) have been designed as “similar” to this degree at each CSU campus, please refer to adegreewithaguarantee.com or icangotocollege.org and seek guidance from a Moorpark College counselor.
