The Associate in Arts in English for Transfer (AA-T) provides major preparation in English through an introduction to composition, critical thinking, literature, creative writing and related areas of study. It is also useful preparation for other liberal arts degrees, and will offer students an enriched background in many diverse professional fields. The intent of the AA-T is to assist students in transferring to the California State University system. California Community College students who are awarded the English AA-T degree are guaranteed admission with junior standing in the CSU system, and given priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus to a program that is deemed similar to their community college major. To earn this degree, students must complete 60 semester units of CSU transferrable courses, earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0, earn a minimum grade of “C” (or “P”) for each course in the major and in general education courses, and complete Cal-GETC.
