Agriculture Animal Science

The Associate in Science in Agriculture Animal Science for Transfer is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Animal Science at a CSU campus.

Students who complete an Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) will receive priority admission with junior status to the California State University System and priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus or to a program that is deemed similar to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses. Students should consult with a counselor for more information on specific university major admission and transfer requirements.

The following are required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees:

• Minimum of 60 CSU transferable semester units
• Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework
• Satisfactory completion (C or better OR Pass*) of courses used to satisfy major requirements AND courses used to complete the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) requirements

*Some majors may not accept a Pass in place of a letter grade. Consult with a counselor before choosing the P/NP grading option.

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

• Evaluate agricultural data as it relates to animal production, draw reasonable conclusions, recognize the environmental implications of these conclusions, and apply these conclusions to examples used in industry.
• Evaluate and apply scientific knowledge into working skills used in animal sciences.
