Art History Associate in Arts Degree for Transfer
PROGRAM CODE: 2A31529
The Art History Associate in Arts Degree for Transfer, also called the Art History AA-T Degree, prepares students to transfer to CSU campuses that offer bachelor's degrees in Art History. Ed Code Section 66746-66749 states students earning the Art History AA-T will be granted priority for admission as an Art History major to a local CSU, as determined by the CSU campus to which the student applies. A bachelor's degree in Art History prepares students for employment in curatorial work for the gallery and museum system. In addition, a bachelor's degree in Art History provides a solid foundation for advanced training in the more technical areas of art restoration and conservation, as well an introduction to art theory, methodology, and criticism – areas of study which are key to studies of art at the post-graduate level. The Art History AA-T Degree program requires a total of 18 units. The following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees, and there are no additional graduation requirements: (1) Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following: (a) The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education – Breadth Requirements. (b) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district. (2) Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. (3) ADTs also require that students must earn a C or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. A “P” (Pass) grade is an acceptable grade for courses in the major only if the P is defined to be equivalent to a C or better.
