The Associate in Arts in Art History for Transfer degree is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer into the CSU system to complete a baccalaureate degree in Art History. In addition, completing the course work will meet the humanities competency requirement at many colleges and universities. Students may receive humanities credit on general education patterns for both the CSU and UC systems. It will also provide instruction for students seeking visual analytic skills and research knowledge for a variety of other disciplines.

The following Associate Degree for Transfer completion requirements must be met:

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:
