Associate Degrees for Transfer

AA-T and AS-T Degrees

Transfer Degree Option:

If you are planning to earn a bachelor’s degree at a California State University (CSU), then our Associate Degrees for Transfer are for you! That’s because in California, any community-college student who completes an Associate Degree for Transfer is guaranteed admission to a CSU campus. It’s important to know that admission to a particular CSU campus or major is NOT guaranteed – however, students who earn an Associate Degree for Transfer will receive priority CSU admission consideration.

Here at Mt. SAC, our Associate Degrees for Transfer are divided into two categories:

  • Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T)
  • Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T)
Students who transfer to a CSU campus that accepts the AA-T or AS-T degree will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transferring to earn a bachelor's degree (unless the major is a designated "high-unit" major). Still unsure whether our Associates Degrees for Transfer are for you? Don’t hesitate to reach out to our Counseling Department with questions, or for help in such areas as how to develop your education plan; how to identify similar majors at the CSU campuses; or for additional information about admission requirements.
