Associate in Arts in Social Justice Studies for Transfer: LGBTQ Studies

Miracosta College

Students completing this associate degree will have completed lower-division major preparation requirements for a LGBTQ studies degree, an emphasis or option within a social justice/LGBTQ studies degree, or a degree considered similar to LGBTQ studies at a participating California State University (CSU) campus. Following transfer to a participating CSU campus, students will be required to complete no more than 60 units to obtain a bachelor's degree however, some CSU campuses accepting this degree may require additional lower-division major preparation. This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as a social justice/LGBTQ studies major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program. Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to- articulate gender dynamics in face-to-face interaction, group settings, and large-scale social institutions, and describe the ways in which gender interacts and intersects with race, class, sexualities, ethnicity, age, ability, and other identities to help shape a person's experiences in society.
