Division of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Kinesiology and Education Overview
The primary function of the Division of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), Kinesiology, and Education is to provide two years of study leading to an associate degree and/or transferability to a university and to provide college-level occupational programs to meet the needs of students who wish to qualify for immediate employment upon graduation.
Another function of this division is to provide developmental courses for students whose high school grades, admission test scores, placement test scores, and counseling interviews show them to need help in obtaining proficiency in basic math skills before attempting standard college courses.
Students who do plan to pursue a baccalaureate degree should consult an advisor concerning degree requirements of the university to which transfer is intended. Transfer agreements exist with many university partners. Information on transfer can be found on the Transfer Information section of the Del Mar College website (https://www.delmar.edu/current-students/transfer/index.html).
Developmental courses are required when educational background and/or test scores indicate a weakness in the basic skills of English, mathematics, or reading.
