Associate Degrees for Transfer

Degrees designed for your transfer goals.

Students who receive an Associate Degree for Transfer are eligible for admission with junior standing into the California State University (CSU) system.

Current and prospective transfer students are strongly encouraged to meet with a counselor to review their options for transfer and to develop an educational plan that best meets their goals and needs.
