Program Overview

Associate Degree for Transfer

The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) and Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) are Associate Degrees designed to prepare students for transfer to the CSU system and earn an Associate Degree using the same requirements. They are intended to make it easier for CSU-bound students to successfully transfer by having universal lower-division major requirements for all 23 CSU campuses. Students can prepare to transfer to the CSU system using just one set of preparation courses for their major rather than having to meet different requirements for multiple campuses.

Benefits of Associate Degrees for Transfer

• Guaranteed priority admission with junior status to a CSU campus with a "similar" major
• GPA bump of .10 or .20 when applying to an impacted campus or major
• After transfer to CSU, guaranteed degree completion within 60 semester units at the CSU
