What is the benefit of an AA-T or AS degree?

On top of the benefit of earning an Associate Degree, you will also have the necessary preparation to transfer to the CSU system and complete a bachelor's degree. Plus, you will receive admission priority and guaranteed admission with junior status to the CSU system.

Can I choose which CSU where I can receive guaranteed admission? 

No. Earning an AA-T guarantees you admission to the CSU system, but not a particular campus or major. The campus you will be admitted to depends on several factors, such as the location of your community college, the program of study that you intend to follow, and your competitiveness for admission.

How long does it take to complete the program? 

Depending on the number of units you take and whether you are a full-time or part-time student, completing an associate degree program can take about two years.

Make an appointment with an academic counselor to receive services in educational plans, transcript evaluation, and career planning.
