Mathematics for Transfer, AS-T

The Mathematics Department at Irvine Valley College offers a wide range of courses to meet the varied needs of students pursuing their academic and vocational goals. The department offers a comprehensive curriculum for students who plan to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. In addition, the department offers developmental courses taught in a variety of formats. Students can enroll in these courses for personal enrichment and/or to get ready to take courses at the college level. The department offers support for all mathematics students in the Mathematics Center, a facility staffed by faculty and tutors.

The completion of an Associate in Science in Mathematics for Transfer (AS-T in Mathematics) degree demonstrates commitment to the field and provides comprehensive preparation for upper-division courses in most professional careers related to mathematics.

Pursuant to SB1440, section 66756, to earn an AS-T in Mathematics, students must:

Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of degree-applicable courses,
Minimum overall grade point average of 2.0,
