Associate in Arts for Transfer

Description

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

An economics education provides the student with a logical way of approaching various problems and issues and provides valuable qualitative skills. The student learns techniques for analyzing contemporary economic problems and develops the ability to exercise sound judgement in evaluating public policy issues.

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

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; please see a counselor for details.) 3. Completion of each of the major courses with a grade of “C” or better 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 courses accepted into the Economics major at the CSU where they seek transfer.
