The Associate in Arts in Sociology for Transfer (AA-T) degree creates a transfer pathway for students who plan to complete a bachelor of arts in sociology or similar major at a California State University (CSU). With the completion of this program, students will possess foundational knowledge and skills that comprise the core content of the lower division requirements of many baccalaureate programs in sociology. The AA-T degree in sociology will help prepare students to have a sociology bachelor’s major.

An AA-T in Sociology may be earned by completing a minimum of 60 units of degree credit coursework, including the major requirements and breadth requirements, with a minimum grade point average of 2.0. Students who complete the AA-T in Sociology are guaranteed admission to a CSU Institution, but not to a particular campus or major.
