      "markdown": "The Associate in Science in Film, Television, and Electronic Media for Transfer (AS-T) degree is intended to meet the lower-division requirements for radio-television film, television-film, television, video, film, or electronic arts majors, an emphasis or option within such a major, or a major considered similar to these majors at a participating California State University (CSU) campus. This interdisciplinary program includes a balanced curriculum with coursework in both film production and theory.\n\nFollowing transfer to a participating CSU campus, students will be required to complete no more than 60 units to obtain a bachelor’s degree; however, some CSU campuses accepting this degree may require additional lower-division major preparation.\n\nThis degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus not accepting this degree or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as a film, television, and electronic media major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program.\n\n##### Graduation Requirements\n\n-   Complete a minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.\n-   Complete all courses in the major with a “C” or \"P\" or better.\n-   Complete the Cal-GETC general education pattern.\n-   Obtain a minimum CSU-transferable grade point average of 2.0.\n-   Complete a minimum of 12 semester units in residence at MiraCosta College.\n\n##### Program Student Learning Outcome\n\nUpon completion of this program, the student will be able to critically evaluate films from a social and cultural perspective, demonstrate knowledge of film theory, and apply appropriate production techniques."
