**ART/STUDIO ARTS

Associate in Arts for Transfer**

Description

The Associate in Arts in Studio Arts for Transfer (AA-T) Degree is intended to meet the lower division requirements for Studio Arts majors (or similar majors) at a CSU campus that offers a Studio Arts baccalaureate degree.

Students who earn an AA-T in Studio Arts demonstrate knowledge and skill in areas including drawing, painting, ceramics, printmaking, photography, or digital media. Foundational skills and knowledge of the studio arts are the springboard for an array of careers including professional artist, illustrator, layout artist, graphic designer, animator, advertising artist, art director, art critic, art educator, art therapist, gallery and museum curator, gallery assistant, and art restorer. The CSU campuses offer a wide range of specialized bachelor’s degrees, including each of the studio arts as well as art education, art history, photography, digital arts and multimedia, graphic design, and arts technology.

In addition to the courses listed below, the following requirements must be met for completion of the AA-T Degree in Studio Arts:

1. Completion of 60 CSU-transferable semester units. 2. Achievement of a minimum GPA of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. (Some majors may require a higher GPA. Students should consult with a counselor for more information.) 3. Completion of the major with a grade of “C” or better in each course or a "P" if the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis and the "P" is equal to a "C" or better. 4. Completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). The California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.

Students are advised to check with the Counseling Department or Transfer Center for the courses accepted into the Art major at the CSU where they seek transfer.
