Mathematics for Transfer 2.0
Associate in Science Degree Mathematics · MiraCosta College · 2026-2027 Catalog
Students completing this associate degree will have completed lower-division major preparation requirements for a mathematics degree, an emphasis or option within a mathematics degree, or a degree considered similar to mathematics at a participating California State University (CSU) campus.
Following transfer to a participating CSU campus, students will be required to complete no more than 60 units to obtain a bachelor’s degree; however, some CSU campuses may require additional lower-division major preparation. This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as a mathematics major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program.
Graduation Requirements
- Complete a minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.
- Complete all courses in the major with a “C” or "P" or better.
- Complete the Cal-GETC general education pattern.
- Obtain a minimum CSU-transferable grade point average of 2.0.
- Complete a minimum of 12 semester units in residence at MiraCosta College.
