Associate Degrees For Transfer
The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (California Education Code §66746-66749 - Senate Bill 1440) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any California Community College (CCC) student who completes an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT), a variation of the traditional associate degree offered at CCCs. A degree with a guarantee provides additional information on ADTs.
MSJC offers Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT) that guarantee admission to the CSU. These degrees are designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree. MSJC students who earn an ADT are guaranteed admission with junior standing to one of the California State Universities in a similar major. Students are also given priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus or to a program that is deemed similar to their CCC major. Students who have been awarded an ADT are able to complete their remaining requirements for the baccalaureate degree within 60 semester or 90 quarter units. Students are 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.
The following is required for all ADT Degrees:
- Minimum of 60 UC transferable semester units.
- Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all UC transferable coursework. While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some majors may require a higher GPA. Please consult with a Counselor for more information.
- Students must complete all California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) requirements with a grade of “C” or better and be certified.
- Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in for an ADT major. All courses in the major must be completed with a grade of “C” or better or a “P” if the course is taken on a “pass-no pass” basis (Title 5 § 55063).
Completion of the Cal-GETC lower-division General Education Transfer pathway may not be appropriate for some engineering, math, or science students or for students completing majors that have a high number of lower-division unit requirements. STEM students are encouraged to meet with a Counselor.
