Transfer path

Potential Transfer Majors:

  • Mathematics B.S.

Potential Career/Options After Completing a Bachelor's Degree:

  • actuary
  • analyst
  • statistician
  • researcher
  • educator

Advising Notes:

  • Students working on this major are placed directly into MATH 400. See a counselor to determine if you would benefit from additional preparation or support courses.
  • This degree can be completed using either the local AA/AS general education (GE) pattern or the Cal-GETC transfer GE pattern. See a counselor to determine which pattern is best for you based on your academic goals.
  • Students can substitute ESLW 340 for ENGL C1000/C1000H (formerly known as ENGWR 300/480).
  • Transferable Elective Courses: any elective courses numbered 300-499, or having a 4-digit number starting with C.

Scheduling Notes:

  • MATH 320/PHIL 324 is offered in the spring.

Other Notes to Students Preparing to Transfer:

  • Physics and computer programming courses are often required for transfer.
  • STAT C1000 (formerly known as STAT 300) is required for Math Education concentrations at many four-year universities.
  • See ASSIST.ORG for the transfer requirements of the institution to which you plan to transfer.
  • The CSU system requires every student receiving a bachelor\'s degree to be knowledgeable about the Constitution of the United States, American history, and state and local government. This requirement is generally known as the American Institutions requirement. Students can complete this requirement at ARC before transferring. The list of approved courses can be found on the ARC website.

Honors Courses (H):

Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better who complete 15 or more units of Honors coursework earn an Honors Transfer Certificate and can take advantage of honors-to-honors transfer agreements with highly selective colleges and universities, both public and private.
