Associate Degrees for Transfer
California Community Colleges are now offering associate degrees for transfer to the CSU. These may include Associate in Arts (AA-
T) or Associate in Science (AS-T) degrees. These degrees are designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate
degree. California Community College students who are awarded an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission with junior
standing somewhere in the CSU system and given priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus or to a program that
is deemed similar to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses.
Students who have been awarded an AA-T or AS-T are able to complete their remaining requirements for the 120-unit baccalaureate
degree within 60 semester or 90 quarter units.
