Associate of Science in Business Administration for Transfer (AS-T)

The Associate in Science in Business Administration for Transfer (AS-T) degree is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer to the California State University (CSU) system.

Successful completion of the degree affords students specific guarantees for transfer to the CSU system, such as admission to a CSU with junior status, priority admission to their local CSU campus, and to a program or major in business administration or similar major. Students transferring to a CSU campus will be required to complete no more than 60 semester or 90 quarter units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree.

To qualify for the Associate in Science in Business Administration for Transfer (AS-T) degree, students are required to complete 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to a California State University, including both of the following:

• (1) The California State University General Education–Breadth Requirements (CSU GE-Breadth) or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), and
• (2) 28 semester units with a grade of “C” or better, or “P” if the course is taken on a “Pass/No-Pass” basis, in the major and an overall minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU transferable coursework.

Note: Students should see a counselor at least once each semester to plan for their educational goal(s).
