Associate Degrees for Transfer

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AA-T and AS-T Degree?

AA-T and AS-T are acronyms for Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees that are designed specifically for transfer to the

California State University System. The degrees are the results of Senate Bill 1440, a transfer bill that required the California Community

Colleges to offer associate degrees for transfer in many of the most popular majors, and for the CSU to provide priority admission to California

Community College students who have earned an AA-T or AS-T degree. These degrees can be completed in 60 transferable semester units

(or 90 quarter units) and include coursework in general education, major preparation, and electives.

How are the AA-T and AS-T degrees different from the associate degrees that community colleges already offer?

Students completing an AA-T or AS-T degree receive priority admission to the CSU system. Students who have completed an AA-T or AS-T

and are admitted to a CSU major that has been deemed similar are guaranteed admission at junior standing, and the opportunity to

complete a baccalaureate degree with 60 additional semester (or 90 quarter) units. AA-T and AS-T degrees are recognized by both the

California Community College and CSU systems as a measure of preparation and readiness for transfer to upper-division course work at the

CSU. Students should check with a counselor to see if their major is deemed similar at the CSU campuses they plan to apply to.

What does it mean when you say “a degree with a guarantee”?

This program guarantees that students who earn an AA-T or AS-T degree from a California Community College will be admitted to a

California State University campus. The campus you will be admitted to depends on several factors, such as the location of your community

college, the program of study that a student intends to follow, and a student’s competitiveness for admission. The program also guarantees a

student will enter the CSU system at junior standing, and only need to complete 60 additional semester units (or 90 quarter units) to earn a

bachelor’s degree in a CSU program that has been deemed as similar.

What is the benefit of earning an AA-T or AS-T degree?

Besides the benefit of completing community college coursework with an associate degree in hand, this program also provides students with

the necessary preparation to transfer to the CSU system and complete a baccalaureate degree. Students with an AA-T or AS-T degree

receive admission priority and guaranteed admission with junior status to the CSU system, along with the ability to complete a baccalaureate

degree with only 60 additional semester units (or 90 quarter units) in a degree program that has been deemed similar.

What are the requirements for earning an AA-T and AS-T degree?

Community college students should work with a counselor to develop an academic plan that includes the specific course requirements for their

degree goals. In general, a student will be required to complete 60 transferable semester units (or 90 quarter units), which includes

coursework in general education, major preparation, and elective courses. Students may complete either the CSU GE or IGETC general

education pattern. Effective fall 2017, CSU GE Areas A1, A2, A3 and B4 must be completed with a grade of “C-” or higher per CSU EO 1100.

All courses applied toward IGETC must be completed with a “C” or higher per the IGETC Standards. In some cases, the statewide Transfer

Model Curriculum (TMC) template may limit the general education plan option. For example, the Biology, Chemistry and Environmental

Science ADT’s require completion of CSU GE for STEM or IGETC for STEM.

Note: CSU IGETC is not mandated per Senate Bill 1440, so students may be IGETC for UC certified without completion of Area 1C, Oral

Communication. Students following this pattern should be advised that Oral Communication (IGETC 1C) is a CSU Admission Requirement.

Students may be awarded an ADT degree using IGETC for UC. However, they will not be eligible for admission to a CSU campus without the

1C Oral Communication requirement. Students who elect to follow IGETC for UC will need to complete the LACCD ADT IGETC for UC Student

Selection petition when petitioning for graduation. Please see a counselor for more information.
