The Mathematics Department at Santa Barbara City College provides an extensive curriculum designed to serve students with diverse academic objectives. It features a comprehensive college-level program covering single and multivariable calculus, analytic geometry, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations, tailored for first- and second-year students aiming to transfer to four-year institutions. The department also provides specialized courses in statistics and calculus for majors in Business, Biological Sciences, and Social Sciences, along with classes supporting Career Technical Education programs.
The Associate in Science for Transfer degree in Mathematics equips students with essential foundational knowledge for seamless transition to a Bachelor's Degree at any CSU campus. This Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) is a unique offering at California Community Colleges. Graduates with an AA-T or AS-T are assured admission to a CSU campus in a related field, though not necessarily their preferred location. These students receive priority consideration for similar programs and enjoy a GPA benefit when applying to competitive CSU campuses or majors. Those interested in pursuing an AA-T or AS-T are encouraged to consult with a counselor for detailed guidance on this transfer pathway.
Graduates of high schools or equivalent are eligible for admission, with the equivalent of a GPA of 2.0 or better.
Students must be 18 years or older by the start of the semester without restrictions.
