English Associate in Arts Degree for Transfer
PROGRAM CODE: 2A31580
The English Associate in Arts Degree for Transfer, also called the English AA-T Degree, prepares students to transfer to CSU campuses that offer bachelor's degrees in English. Ed Code Section 66746-66749 states students earning the English AA-T degree will be granted priority for admission as an English major to a local CSU, as determined by the CSU campus to which the student applies. This degree is designed to prepare students to read and write about literature critically and to understand key historical and generic influences in the production and reception of literature and other cultural texts. While a baccalaureate degree is recommended preparation for those considering careers in fields such as writing, journalism, education, training and development, sales, community relations, the ministry, law, business, entertainment, nonprofit organizations and government, completion of this curriculum will demonstrate commitment to the field and provide comprehensive preparation for upper-division work. This degree requires a total of 19 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) 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.
