Associate in Science for Transfer Degree: Business Administration
The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code
sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community
college student who completes an “associate degree for transfer”, a newly established variation of the associate
degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the
Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a
similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the
CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete:
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.
Associate Degrees for Transfer also require that students must earn a C or better in all courses required for the major
or area of emphasis.
This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to university
or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete
the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements. At the time of catalog
publication, a student may earn an AS-T in Business Administration. Additional majors are being developed. Please
see a counselor or visit http://www.canyons.edu for more information.
