      "markdown": "### Description\n\nThe Associate in Arts degree for Transfer (AA-T) in Theatre Arts meets the lower division course requirements necessary for the California State University (CSU) system. Theatre students gain self-confidence and work in a collaborative environment through class projects and performances. Theatre encourages students to take risks, to focus on their intentions and the tremendous power of personal commitment to a project or play. The core values of our Theatre Arts program are personal integrity, social justice, and examining how art imitates life.\n\n**To be awarded the Associate in Arts in Theatre Arts for Transfer degree, students must:­**\n\n(1) Complete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units which are eligible for transfer to the California State University (CSU) system, including both of the following:\n\n(A) The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) Requirements.\n\n(B) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.\n\n(2) Obtain a minimum grade point average of 2.0.\n\n_While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some majors may require a higher GPA.  Please consult with a counselor for more information.­­­_\n\nAssociate Degrees for Transfer (ADTs) also require that students must earn a “C” or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis.  A \"P\" (Pass) grade is an acceptable grade for courses in the major if the course is taken on a “pass/no pass” basis."
